Moms on Call
Not for everyone but was our must have survival guide. It has very prescriptive daily schedules for every phase of life in the first 6 months. Maybe it made us crazy but it also made Pearl and Orlando very good sleepers was the only way we came out of the first few months alive. This is also a no nonsense guide to navigating all of the newborn issues. just ignore the occasional religious references unless that’s your thing.

This is what worked for us. easy enough to do, comfortable, no scratchy velcro, and our kids didn’t break out of it for a long time. but there are a million swaddles and every kid is different so you may need to find your own.
