None of these newborns are swaddled safely...
- Blankets come loose and become a risk for suffocation
- Blankets can also be too tight and cause cold shoulder muscles and hip dysplasia
- AAP recommends NO blankets in the crib
- Blanket swaddles are difficult for parents to emulate swaddling at home
- Blankets do not work around medical devices and treatment needs, requiring wrapping/unwrapping which leads to overstimulation and ignites Moro reflex
