How tight should a swaddle blanket be?

Name: Fall Buds Blanket
Brand: Adee
Price: 28.00 USD
Availability: InStock

A swaddle blanket should be snug enough to help your baby feel secure, but not so tight that it restricts movement or breathing. You should be able to fit two to three fingers between the swaddle and your baby’s chest, this ensures they can breathe comfortably while still feeling gently held. The legs and hips should always have room to move freely. Wrapping too tightly around the arms or lower body can cause discomfort or even lead to hip issues. A well-fitted swaddle calms the startle reflex and supports safe, restful sleep.
