A. It is understandable that your premature baby is experiencing discomfort with swaddling. While swaddling can be beneficial for many infants by mimicking the womb environment, some babies may not find it soothing. If your baby is persistently trying to free their hands and becoming upset, it may be best to forgo swaddling. You can try alternatives such as using a sleep sack or a swaddle with arm holes that allow more freedom of movement. Ensuring a comfortable sleep environment, such as appropriate room temperature and soothing sounds, can also help your baby relax. Consulting with a pediatrician or infant sleep specialistz for personalized recommendations may provide additional support in promotxing peaceful sleep for your little one.
