Swaddle Too Hot. Signs that your infant may be too hot include damp sweaty skin or hair, flushed cheeks or skin that feels hot (not just warm). Swaddling can increase the chance your baby will overheat, so avoid letting your baby get too hot. Do swaddle using a light blanket so that baby does not get too hot. Don’t swaddle too tight around chest, legs and hips. Make sure your baby stays at a comfortable temperature (and doesn’t get too hot) when they’re swaddled. If you swaddle your baby too tightly, with their legs pressed together and straight down, they’re more likely to develop problems with their hips (hip dysplasia) (nct 2018, shaw and segal 2016). Despite knowing the numerous benefits of swaddling, many parents hesitate to wrap their little ones in hot weather. Using a swaddle that is too hot for your baby can lead to overheating (which can increase the risk of sids) [2], and using a swaddle that is too tight around your baby’s hips has been associated with developmental hip dysplasia [3]. An overheating baby may also cry or seem restless. If the bedroom is warm, your baby can wear only a onesie underneath their swaddle blanket. The baby could be too hot if you notice sweating, damp hair, flushed cheeks, heat rash and rapid breathing. Or, if the bedroom is cool/cold, your baby can wear a newborn nightgown and socks underneath their swaddle. Only use a thin cotton sheet or a muslin for swaddling and don't cover your baby's neck or face.
