Bedeutung
To be in the very early stages of development.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Swaddling (att linda barn) was common in Sweden until the mid-19th century. It was believed to prevent the child from becoming 'crooked'. Using this phrase in a meeting shows that you are realistic and not over-hyping a project, which is valued in Swedish professional life. Journalists love this phrase when discussing political reforms that haven't shown results yet. Swedish scientists often use this to describe the 'Linnaean' era of botany when it was first starting.
