Hi.... We are swaddling the baby with cotton garment. My question is should we do it 24x7? We are not using AC.... Only Fan we are using.... Weather is humid n hot temp almost 30+. Please suggest.... Sometimes he gets irritated. He is 16 days old. We are bathing him daily and sponging at night before sleep. please suggest how to make him comfortable???

Plus one to Reva. Also, the baby's face mustn't go much reddish.. that indicates excess heat.

You can probably swaddle in the night. Give sometime without swaddle in the day. To check the temperature you can see if the baby is sweating too much that's an indication of too much heat

Should I give swaddle free time in afternoon? We close all window and door while sleeping at night as in our area temp drops in post mid night. Should we open a portion of window for ventilation?

Hi<br>
Swaddling is good but follow only for three months and give some time for the baby to be without swaddle atleast four hours because the baby needs to stretch... Make sure the temperature does not make the baby sweat inside the swaddle it's dangerous... Give some swaddle free time.
