swaddling
My 3 week old absolutely hates being out of her swaddle. She'll tolerate it for 5-15 here and there for bath times or tummy time on my chest but then she won't calm down til sheis back in it . She doesn't mind the swaddle being loose or her arm or arms out. But even when she is awake and socializing she has to be in it. I feel bad she is in it all the time and that it may stunt her development.

I'm no expert but if she cries or is uncomfortable without it i say let her be in it. She'll out grow the want to be swaddled eventually. When they are this little I think it's best to just give them what they want

That's what I was thinking but I just want not opinions. I can't find much on the internet

I’d say if you can make it as loose as possible for her but that she still feels safe—it would be just fine. I know that they (Dr Google) don’t recommend swaddling for longer than 12 hours in a day but that’s for a tight swaddle. Keep princess happy and she’ll be just fine! I’ve read most babies peace out from wanting to be swaddled around 3 months?

As long as her legs are free at times during the day. Excess swaddling isnt great for hip development.
Im not judging, my first was like yours. She had a really strong startle reflex. And liked swaddling until that reduced.
I found baby wearing where they are snug, but their hips are wide open was a nice compromise.
Good luck!

Thank you all for the advice, I appreciate it.

My first born loved being swaddled all the time. I would still swaddle her at 6 months because she wouldn't sleep any other way. I wouldn't worry too much about it. She started crawling right away sitting up and I know it might be hard to believe but she started walking at nine months too
