When did you stop swaddling?

Question

My daughter is 18 weeks old and for the last week she has been fighting her naps. I noticed that when she was falling asleep her hands or feet would move and startle her. So today I decided to swaddle her for the first time and she fell asleep within 2 minutes. She has been asleep for over an hour now. I swaddled her when she was first born for a few weeks and for some reason I just stopped since we didn't have trouble sleeping. Any other parents still swaddling? and if so how old are your little ones?

Answer

I can’t remember an age but I swaddled until my daughter could roll over.

Answer

My baby is 14 weeks and likes to be swaddled still as long as it's not real tight around her arms.

Answer

When baby can roll from back to belly you have to let arms free. I still put my little girl in a sleep sack that wraps tightly around her chest though and she's almost 6 months. They like to feel cosy

Answer

Two months

Answer

I stopped swaddling at around 8 weeks because he wanted to break free all the time! The wriggling & grunting meant he wasn’t peaceful/relaxed. 
Is she warm/cool enough? Does she have something soft to snuggle? I’ve been given 4 ‘comforters’ (little teddy head with loose fabric hanging off) which my friends all swore by for getting their kids to sleep.

Answer

You usually swaddle till four months because that's when the reflex usually subsides.
