[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you all! She wriggles her hands/arms out of every swaddle we attempt. Is a swaddle still helpful if her hands and arms are outside it?[/quote] A newborn? You're not swaddling tightly enough. Are you just using a blanket swaddle like they showed you in the hospital? Eff that. Get yourself some velcro swaddles (we used SwaddleMe), and swaddle them up twice as tight as you think you should. Not swaddling tightly enough is SUCH a common first time parent issue. [/quote] +1 You are stronger than she is! Velcro her arms down for her - it will calm her. Her limbs scare her now when they flail but she can’t help it. [/quote]
