Hi ladies I jst read this on the news and decided to post it in case some of you haven't heard of it cuz honestly its my first.... swaddling your baby to tight can lead to hip Dysplasia (dislocated hips) this is the looseness of the hip joint and is the most common abnormality in newborns affecting as many as 1 in 20... to avoid problem babies should be wrapped so the legs are able to bend up and out @ the hips... so becareful not to swaddle them to tight, even though it brings them comfort n soothes them....
