I’m so paranoid about getting the positioning right — are there swaddles that make it easier for new parents? And how long should you keep swaddling before it’s time to stop? I don’t want to mess up my baby’s sleep routine!
What’s the best way to check my baby’s temperature without waking them up? Asking for my over-cautious self lol.
Overheating is my biggest fear! How do you know if your baby’s too warm? Are certain fabrics better for avoiding overheating? I’m in a warmer climate and worry about my baby getting too hot.
