It’s best to avoid using a regular blanket for swaddling. Most standard blankets are too bulky or heavy, which can increase the risk of overheating or suffocation. Swaddle blankets are specially designed to wrap your baby snugly and safely. They’re usually made from lightweight, breathable fabrics and often include helpful features like Velcro or snaps to keep the wrap secure. They also provide the right balance of comfort and support to help calm your baby and reduce the startle reflex. For safety and peace of mind, it’s better to use a proper swaddle blanket.
