How long do you swaddle?

Question

How long do you swaddle your baby for? I know to stop if my baby can roll, but do I just wait until then? Also, do you swaddle your baby for naps or just at night?

Answer

At 4 months mine still get swaddled at night only. She loves it and goes right to sleep. Sometimes I'll leave the arms out after her 3 AM feeding if she's loosened it a bit, but otherwise I leave her in it all night. She's been sleeping 7 hours most nights since she was 2 and a 1/2 months.

Answer

My LO is 3.5 mo and we still swaddle for both naps and night time. I haven't tried leaving arms out in the halo swaddle/sleep sacks but we'll be trying it soon. He sleeps so well, so I'll probably wait until he can roll to stop swaddling.

My son still needs it for 95% of sleeping

Answer

I haven't swaddled since she was a month old.  She hated it.  I am using the Halo sleepsacks with her arms out, and I wrap the wings around her chest.  She sleeps all night like that.  For naps, if I have her upstairs in her crib I use the Halo, if she is downstairs in her swing I cover her with a blanket with her arms out on top of the blanket.

Answer

I only Swaddle one arm for both naps and bedtime. I tried in Swaddle both arms and just wrap around chest area when my baby was about 3 months and he didn't sleep as well so owner back to just doi me the one arm. My son is almost four months and some nights I find that he has wiggled out of the Swaddle and wakes up. I'm going to keep doing it until he rolls over.

Answer

Around two months old I started doing the Aussie swaddle method.. Then I started leaving one arm out so she could suck her thumb.. At this time I also stopped swaddling for naps and only for bedtime.. She's now 3 months and we don't swaddle at all.. She sleeps in a nightgown sack..
