In Turkey and China the ancient practice of swaddling is still commonly practiced. Both countries have extremely high rates of pneumonia, especially during the neonatal period. Preliminary evidence on the possibility that swaddling may interfere with normal respiratory function and thereby predispose to pneumonia was gathered in a teaching health center in Ankara. Babies who had been swaddled for at least three months were four times more likely to have developed pneumonia (confirmed radiologically) and upper respiratory infections than babies who were unswaddled. These preliminary findings were highly significant and are being followed up by further studies.
在土耳其和中国，包裹婴儿的古老做法仍然很常见。这两个国家的肺炎发病率都极高，尤其是在新生儿期。在安卡拉的一家教学健康中心收集了关于包裹婴儿可能干扰正常呼吸功能从而易患肺炎的初步证据。与未包裹的婴儿相比，被包裹至少三个月的婴儿患肺炎（经放射学确诊）和上呼吸道感染的可能性高出四倍。这些初步发现非常重要，目前正在进行进一步的研究跟进。
