SWADDLING!!

Hi, I have seen so many posts of women who are having a hard time getting their babies to sleep. I’d like to know if you have tried swaddling?

I use the swaddles with the Velcro it makes it harder for them to break out; halo swaddles or the one pictured below are my favorite and work the best. Now you might think “they look like they are in straight jackets my baby won’t like being contained or I’ll feel too bad”.

I thought the same thing with my first and I WISH I knew about swaddling 6 years ago; I swaddled my second because it helped with her acid reflex she would sleep 8 hours straight and my third baby (I had on the 14th) will not go to sleep without being swaddled. I tried one night without it and he would wake up every 10 min once I swaddled him he passed out for 4 hours straight!.

Babies want closeness and warmth, yes that is what our arms are for but when you get little to no sleep, can’t shower or doing anything because they want to be held swaddles are saviors. I’m not saying keep them in a swaddle all day, during the day my son can sleep without one but at night he has a hard time if he’s not wrapped.

^^^this one is called “swaddle me”

^^^^this one is called the “halo swaddle” this one is my favorite cause it’s a thick material and it keeps him warm at night.
