But if not done sᴀFᴇʟʏ it could ɪɴᴄʀᴇᴀsᴇ their chace ᴏf ᴅᴇᴠᴇʟᴏᴘɪɴɢ ʜɪᴘ ᴅʏsᴘʟᴀsɪᴀ (a ᴅᴇᴠᴇʟᴏᴘᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟ problem with a baby’s ʜɪᴘ ᴊᴏɪɴᴛ) and could put them at ʀɪsᴋ ᴏf ᴏᴠᴇʀʜᴇᴀᴛɪɴɢ. Swaddlingshould only be introduced when your baby is a newborn it states, and as soon as they show sɪɢɴs that they’re able to roll over, they should be transitioned away from it.
