Some evenings he was so fussy that was one of the only things that would help, though. I would wear him a lot so he wasn't swaddled 24/7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-swaddling-is-too-much#post-413192 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 09:58:56 +0000 cvbee 413192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can swaddle until they roll.<br /> We used the same swaddle as you and the Halo brand advertises that they are 'good' for hip development since legs aren't swaddled.<br /> I have seen another brand (GRObag) advertise that their swaddle is good because it makes sure that baby isn't swaddled too tightly, so maybe just make sure it's not too tight? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-swaddling-is-too-much#post-413189 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 09:54:31 +0000 Andrea 413189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From what I've heard, the concern is surrounding hip injury so I think it's OK to swaddle their upper half tightly but leave their legs free to move around. Swaddling is to control their arm reflexes anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-swaddling-is-too-much#post-413185 Sun, 25 Nov 2012 09:44:39 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 413185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swaddling is magic in our house. LO is a super happy camper when he's in a Halo swaddle/sleep sack combo. His feet are free, but his arms are strapped down pretty well. Obviously a question for the ped tomorrow, but what guidelines have you heard? </p>
