hey mommy! congrats on yr newborn! I stopped swaddling my newborn as soon as I saw signs that he wanted to flip over. and yes , since newborn his hands are always out 😅 my 2nd one is turning 1 month and she also has her hands out eversince she's out , no matter how tight I swaddle she can navigate her way out. and no it's not true that it'll make their legs crooked if never swaddle. swaddling is just to make them feel comfortable to sleep as they're used to being inside , and also to lessen their startle reflex if I'm not mistaken. if you don't like the old swaddling method , can try the instant ones like sleep sack. 😅 at times I just unswaddle my newborn cause she prefers it that way and sleeps longer. all depends on the baby and yourself. do what works for you. ☺️
