Harvey Karp wrote in his response to the query about swaddling with flexed
or extended arms:

"However, babies who are swaddled with their hands up often get their arms
out and unravel the blankets...these loose wraps can get around a baby's
face and increase the risk of SIDS."

I would like to remind everyone that an infant death caused by getting
tangled up in loose wraps is NOT a SIDS death.  SIDS deaths are by
definition inexplicable, while suffocation or strangulation are separate
diagnoses.
