Hip displasia? Wow! We're actually trying to move away from the swaddle. As you can see, Sam works his way out of it anyway. Plus, he rolls both ways now and we'd like him to have his hands free. He seems to like the swaddle, though, so it's taking some time. Like so many other things.
Sounds like you're swaddling well if he can get out of it. The too tight swaddle with legs in a straight down position can cause hip displasia. Swaddle tighter on top than bottom, is what I learned.
BUT...if your kid does get hip displasia, it's not that big a deal, they just have to wear a weird split for 12 to 15 weeks and get weekly ultrasounds to correct the situation.
Anyway, my point is, you're not constricting his legs if he's able to get out of the swaddle, so everything's fine.

CUTE!!!! I love that swaddle thingy.
It's so sweet how he has his hands folded together. Cute little bundle.
Good luck with the training!
Hey! My word verification os "protu". That's kind of like pronto.
I just listened to a long podcast about
hip displasia (sp?) due to improper swaddling.
Please be careful.
