When to transition out of swaddling?

Question

My 2 month old was sleeping 6-8 hour stretches at night until the last 2 nights, she’s been up almost hourly for a few hours at a time 😩 
After reading some other posts on here I’m starting to think I should transition out of her swaddle. She fights her way out of it, and is constantly sucking on her hands so it seems like maybe it is time?? 
Have any of you transitioned out of swaddling and if so when did you do it?

Answer

Using the love to dream sleep sack mine wants access to her hands as well

Answer

I stopped swaddling at about 4 weeks

Answer

We use swaddle me swaddles and you’re supposed to stop when they can roll over. He doesn’t roll from back to tummy yet so I’m keeping him in it. He sleeps 9-11 hours at night and sometimes it helps with a nap during the day. He usually gets one arm free (the one that prevented him from descending during labor, go figure) but I’m going to keep with it for now because it’s working.

I just did this a week ago, I thought about slowly transitioning but did cold turkey, keep bedtime routine the same just minus swaddle. The first few nights are HARD stick to it! Baby’s back to sleeping 11 hours at night now  without swaddle :)

My son hasn't been in a swaddle since 6 or 7 weeks. He was constantly fight out and screaming whenever I put him in any kind of swaddle. I think it's more of him wanting his feet and legs to be free. He is now almost 13 weeks and still hates anything on his feet unless it's footie pants or socks. Even those can't stay on for too long. Anything else he kicks away.

I was using the Halo sleep sack and would just swaddle her with one arm out during her naps for a few days before doing the same at night. I think I started that around 10 weeks, or maybe a little earlier. She seemed to generally be okay like that, and then she started rolling over at 11 weeks so I stopped swaddling both arms. But the Halo sack allowed me to have it wrapped around her chest so I continued that before begining to use just a plain wearable blanket. I ended up not having too much of an issue with discontinuing the swaddles, I think because she just wanted to get to her hands so bad! She's about to be 13 weeks now.

Mines 11 weeks and we just started using Merlin’s magic suit and she’s loving it

Answer

You should try the love to dream sleep sack. It works wonders for my son who loves to eat his hands.

Answer

My son was doing the same thing. I was given a Zipadee a couple days after he started breaking free of his swaddle so I tried it for naps one day, he did fairly well, so I tried it that night as well he did awesome! He loves it.
