Yes, it is generally considered safe to swaddle a newborn at night. Swaddling can help newborns feel secure and comfortable, and it may also help to prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) by keeping the baby in a supine (back) sleep position.
However, it is important to follow safe swaddling techniques to ensure that the baby is not at risk of overheating or suffocation. Make sure to use a light, breathable fabric for the swaddle and to place the baby on their back to sleep. It is also a good idea to check on the baby frequently and to stop swaddling as soon as the baby starts to roll over or show signs of being able to break out of the swaddle.
It is always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider or a pediatrician if you have any concerns about swaddling your newborn.
