Hi I have a question regarding sleep to dream swaddles for newborns and other sleep swaddles. The dream to sleep one's are approved by INPAA, but I wondered if they are approved by SIDs for safe sleeping. Another brand is a fetal flex sleep swaddle where their arms to have ability to move. What are the recommendations?

Red Nose does not approve specific brand name products but recommends using cotton or muslin wrap/swaddle “free of any zips, velcro or buttons” for baby.
“Red Nose does not recommend the use of swaddle bags when baby’s arms are enclosed as an alternative” to a traditional swaddle.
