safe sleeping

i’m 35 weeks with my first and i just have some questions about what baby should wear at night. i have sleepsuits, swaddles and breathable blankets just so i have it all but read somewhere that newborns shouldn’t wear sleepsuits for the first couple of weeks? so do i swaddle at first? or use a blanket (obviously one with holes and all tucked in) i’ve just seen so much conflicting information it can get a bit confusing!

My 3 week old wears a sleeveless vest, then a baby-grow with the feet in, and covered with a cellular blanket. At all my check ups, the midwives/health visitors have said this is suitable x

We used a sleeveless sleep sack or a swaddle with our daughter and it worked great. If your baby will tolerate the swaddling, sometimes that’s nice as it helps them sleep deeper.
