+1 to some sort of "engineered swaddle" that restrains the arms effectively.
We found "traditional" swaddles to be unreliable - once the arm/arms were out then it is only a matter of time before they hit themselves in the face with their arms, but swaddles with specific features to prevent the escape of the arms to work really well.
We used one called Miracle Swaddle for both our kids. Just make sure you stop using swaddles as soon as the kid can roll on their own.

- domh 4y agoAlso +1 to the Velcro swaddle. Swaddling with a regular piece of fabric is something I mastered in the hospital and then swiftly forgot as soon as we got home. The Velcro swaddle was a game changer. We transitioned to sleeping bags with arms out as soon as our baby could roll over, and he's still using those now at 14 months.
