Ok, so from everything that my H and I have been told in prenatal class...you should not swaddle the baby at night to sleep. But they do it in the hospital.
So why does it seem so confusing and contradicting. Have you ladies been told/read not to swaddle the baby when in ths crib/bassinet to sleep? My LO won't sleep and wails his hands all over when I put him in the bassinet.

We've been swaddling with his hands up as he likes to self soothe.
I am now curious as to where everyone is from - just bc of the difference in what we were all told. I am in western PA.

My hospital was the same. They encourage parents to keep the baby in with them the entire stay with little help from nursing staff. They even transformed the old nursery into a larger NICU so parents have to keep baby in the room.
However, the other hospital in our city has a nursery that will keep the baby 24/7 until you leave. Maybe that's what @lovebuggies1 was referring to?
Worst mom in the world here. (Or at least that's what my son thinks when I'm changing his diaper or zOMG have not used my psychic powers to have his bottle ready and in his mouth the moment he's hungry)

My kids all hated to be swaddled, including the latest addition. I don't even try. She likes to move her legs around.
