Swaddling putting newborn hips at risk

[FabFiona]

I wonder if increased rates of hip displaysia are related to better screening and diagnosis rather than just swaddling?

I wonder that too, FabFiona. I know there are a lot of instances where baby is found to have clicky hips at birth and then all is well afterwards and as swaddling is so widely used, it can't be the sole reason for hip problems. I guess if there is already a possibility of it happening, then another method of wrapping should be encouraged to help the hips adjust into position after birth.

Taurean - I just looked those up, they look great. Think I'll invest for this baby.
