How Long to Swaddle?

Hi mamas! I have a 3 1/2 year old dd and 2 10-week old twin daughters. Due to some reflux issues, my twins have been sleeping in their swings for naps and bedtime.

She will be needing some selections of preemie clothes, and other such things. But I am wondering what were the most useful things you had for Preemies...
