Swaddling is amazing for newborn sleep — but only when it’s done safely!
Many parents make small mistakes that can lead to discomfort, overheating, or unsafe sleep.
Here are the top swaddling mistakes to avoid so your baby stays safe and cozy:

1️⃣ Swaddling too tight
Restricted breathing or hip problems can happen if it’s too tight around the chest or hips.

2️⃣ Leaving the hips straightened
Baby’s legs need to bend naturally. Always allow hip movement to prevent hip dysplasia.

3️⃣ Swaddling after baby can roll
Once your baby starts rolling (usually 8–12 weeks), stop swaddling immediately.

4️⃣ Using thick blankets
This can cause overheating. Choose light, breathable cotton or muslin fabrics.

5️⃣ Covering baby’s face or neck
This is a suffocation risk — always keep the blanket below shoulder level.

6️⃣ Putting baby on their side or stomach
Swaddled babies should always be placed on their back for sleep.

7️⃣ Not checking temperature
If your baby feels sweaty or hot, remove a layer.

8️⃣ Using loose swaddles
A loose wrap can unravel and become dangerous. Keep it snug, not tight.
