How long to swaddle a baby per day

My baby breaks out of the swaddle. Does this mean I should stop swaddling? #anchor

It depends! Breaking out of the swaddle can happen for different reasons.

Baby won't sleep without swaddle but rolls over

If your baby breaks out of the swaddle and is showing signs of rolling, this does mean it’s time to stop swaddling.

However, there are other times we see babies break out of swaddles that have nothing to do with rolling.

Let’s talk about those reasons and how to help keep your baby swaddled safely:

• Active Sleep - You may see your baby break out of the swaddle during very active sleep (which is a normal part of newborn sleep!).

  Be sure that the swaddle you are using is following the guidelines for swaddle safety.

• Overtiredness -  Your baby may also fight the swaddle or break out of the swaddle when they’re overtired.

• Growth - Keep in mind, as babies get older, they grow bigger and stronger. This can make it easier for them to break out of the swaddle.
