Safety while Swaddling:

  - Swaddling is beneficial (see above) and safe for baby.

  - Keep the swaddle wrap secure on your baby but make sure you can always place 2 fingers between your baby and the swaddle blanket.

Other Swaddling Thoughts:

  - Remember that the swaddle blanket provides an extra layer of warmth for your child, so you will need to dress him accordingly in light clothing or even just a diaper.  A good way to check baby's temperature is by touching the back of baby's neck to see if he is too warm or perspiring.

  - If your baby enjoys sucking on his hands or fingers, you may opt to leave one hand out of the swaddle blanket.
