Is there such thing as “too much swaddling”?

Question

We swaddle our baby in his love to dream sleep 50/50 swaddle. However he sleeps through the night. My mom raised concerns on him sleeping too long with his hands in the upward position. Now I am mentally uneasy because I am thinking maybe he is swaddled with his hands up too long?? I couldn’t find anything online that says anything about daily usage.

Answer

Babies often sleep with their hands in the upward position that's why that swaddle is awesome. My son used it for 2 months and is now in a sleeveless sleep sack. Often he sleeps with his arms up, other times that are at his sides. I'm not sure what the concern with hands being up is...

Answer

Hands up is actually their natural sleep position. I think ur fine 😄

Answer

My baby sleeps with her hands up in a sleep sack but I think if your baby has the freedom to put arms anywhere they want it’s okay

Answer

Psh me, my 2 year old, and our almost 4 month old sleep with our hands up. No problems.
