The occurrence of Hip Dysplasia is making the headlines news. Parents should be concern if they are not familiar with swaddling because improper swaddling can trigger Hip Dysplasia. Here are some things parents need to pay attention to when swaddling.
1. Swaddle with enough room for hip to move
2. Do not straighten the newborn's leg from the frog position
3. If you are still unsure about swaddle, then I recommend getting some swaddle sacks. These sacks will create a nice swaddle for the chest and arms, while leaving enough room for the legs and hip to move without much restriction.
