Risks Of Swaddling

While swaddling has many benefits, it is also important to understand some of the risk factors associated with swaddling:

• Swaddling can affect your baby’s breastfeeding schedule. Research has found that a baby who is used to mother’s warmth breastfeeds better
• Since swaddling can impact breastfeeding, it also can impact baby’s healthy weight gain
• Swaddling, as we mentioned before, can help keep the baby warm. But there is also a higher risk of hyperthermia (very high body temperature)
• Spending a lot of time in swaddling position can increase the risk of hip dysplasia or hip dislocation

As a solution, ensure you use a light cotton swaddling blanket that will not result in hyperthermia and will help the baby’s skin breathe. Also, do not keep the baby swaddled for a very long time – ensure they get enough time to kick their legs and move their arms. Also, remember that not all babies like being swaddled. If your baby is not happy being swaddled and fights when you try to swaddle, then maybe swaddling is not the right option for your baby.
