Is swaddling against the regs in their state?
As pointed out in the comments, in many other countries swaddling until the infant is much older is common, could it be a cultural difference?
If it's against the regs, a visit from licensing to educate the women seems in order. If they had already had that (not sure by the article) then arrest them.

I can't imagine this would help the children at all. They probably screamed louder...

They also may be using words those women said.

They were 'tying' them up so tight, the extremities were losing feeling, and they were having a difficult time breathing. I think normal swaddling can make the infant feel safe and cozy... this was NOT swaddling! I had one DCG that needed swaddling and she was a bigger DCK, so small swaddling blankets didn't work. DCM brought me a 'special' homemade blanket just for the occasion because it was hard to swaddle a tight swaddle, she still broke out of it often but I was uncomfortable doing it any tighter.
It says there were several infants swaddled this same way:confused: It makes me so Poor babes...

If you scrolled down to the bottom of the page, it was interesting to read some of the comments.
Sounds like most people believe that possibly they are from another country and didn't understand its not done that way here.
Funny, you would think someone would have reported it before this! A parent picking up early, drop in inspection, something!Each day is a fresh start
Never look back on regrets
Live life to the fullest
We only get one shot at this!!

Thankfully another worker called and reported this was going on.

That said, if the comment about the older sister is true, then this might be a provider with a history of known issues. This was not mentioned in the article but would be a relevant bit of info.
