Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Swaddling is a traditional practice of wrapping a baby up gently in a light, breathable blanket to help them feel calm and sleepy. They should only have their body wrapped and not their neck or head, to reduce the chance of suffocation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wrapping soothes some babies. It also cuts the risk of sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI), including SIDS and fatal sleeping accidents, because it keeps babies on their backs during sleep. Wrap babies from birth until they can roll onto their tummies (4-6 months).

Detailed explanation-3: -If a baby is swaddled too tight around the chest, he may not have enough space to breathe freely. Swaddling once a baby can roll over. If a swaddled baby rolls over to her stomach, this increases the risk for SIDS because it is less likely that she will be able to roll back over to her back.

Detailed explanation-4: -Babies need to be able to move their legs freely, bending them and stretching them, swaddling the baby does not allow for these actions there for hindering growth.
