Enjoyed your summary of interesting differences! My midwife showed me the concept of swaddling, but latetly I read an article that said: Swaddling is not longer recommended due to the risc factor of SIDS.
As you said, every baby is different, so while with your first child you find Schlafsack the best option, a second baby (should you have one, not saying you NEED to, that is not on me to decide!) might indeed enjoy the American practice of swaddling. Swaddling in Europe ended around the 18th century.
German father here. Hat to look up up swaddling. Never heard that word before

Absolutely! Like I said, I think it's important to know all these tools because it allows parents to have whatever available to help each kid.
GOOD JOB
