Ugh. I’m having soo much trouble with transitioning my LO out of her swaddle. We were doing good. We use the Halo swaddle. So I did the left arm out for 4 nights, then she started getting sick. Only wanted to be held to sleep. She was sick with a stuffy nose and cough for almost 10 days. So that got us off track. Pretty much had to start all over again. But this time she’s worse. I’ll get her to sleep and then bam! as soon as her arm moves she wakes herself up and just kicks and moves the arm, I try to settle her without holding her but then it gets to the point where she is screaming. So I hold her. Then she wants to talk and giggle. Takes almost 2 hours to get her back to sleep, if not longer. Then she’s up every hour bc she’s waking herself up. This has been so rough. I thought we were on the right track before she got sick. Now I feel like we’ve taken 10 steps back.

So my question is do you think it’s her startle reflex waking her up? Do all babies have such a rough time transitioning? Should I be doing something else? Is she not ready? Ugh. So many questions. So little sleep!! If any of this isn’t grammatically correct I apologize... NEED SLEEP!!!

She can roll, however she sleeps in a co sleeper in our bed so she’s not rolling in it. If this is this hard with a swaddle I can’t imagine how hard it’s going to be to transition to the crib 😩😩😩 send help lol
