Most hospitals provide swaddles, but The Ollie World Swaddle ($65) is a moisture wicking, softer swaddle that is easy to use and allows for easy nappy changes. (It has an opening at the bottom, so there's no need to un-swaddle when you're swapping out a dirty nappy.) Another reason to BYO: at the hospital, healthcare experts are on hand to help you learn the ins and outs of things like swaddling, which can be tricky for first-time parents, and it's helpful to get that assistance while using the same swaddles that you'll continue to use when you're back at home, rather than a hospital-issued one, says Dr. Diamond.
