Why is Princess Aurora wrapped tightly in that blanket?


In the beginning of the movie we see baby Aurora wrapped in a blanket the whole time, Why didnt they show her face? That baby must have been a heavy sleeper

Babies were tightly swaddled in the "olden days". For some reason, it was thought to keep their arms and legs straight...especially when they started getting active. Aurora was probably "betrothed" before she was even born. She didn't know Philip, he didn't know HER, and...being a newborn engaged to a five year old boy, I doubt either of them cared.







I do hope he won't upset Henry...

To prevent her from being cold.
