Favorite swaddle ?

Question

June Mamma’s drop your fav swaddles! Also how long do you swaddle for? Do you switch to a sleep sack after that? TIA

Answer

Since baby is due in June I’ve decided to these instead of the typical blankets used to swaddle them I figured since they are lighter so hopefully baby loves them

Answer

For the first few weeks they’re two small for most swaddles or will outgrow them quickly and swaddles are pricey. 
We looooved extra large soft muslin swaddle blankets at first. (Like Aiden and Anais)
Then baby gets stronger and breaks out of them and at that point you can try to stop swaddling or get the velcro kind. We loved SwaddleMe and Halo.
(The old muslin swaddles doubled as super soft burp clothes and tummy time spit up catchers after we switched.)
For the last full phase of swaddling around 4 months we loved the miracle swaddle, it was the only thing our guy couldn’t bust out of. Then we switched to the swaddle me translational swaddles (one arm out) for 5-6 months and then ditched them altogether.

Answer

I like using a blanket during the day time and SwaddleMe Original Swaddle I like to use to night. I like the swaddleme at night because it stays in place and when transitioning out of the swaddle it stays in place when I rotate arms out (how I transition).

Answer

Loved the nested bean swaddles and sleep sacks for my second! You can and should swaddle baby until they start to roll over. Swaddling helps keep the baby asleep due to their startle reflex as well. Unswaddling too soon can make for some long nights :)

Answer

#1 pretty much hated them.
#2, we used a swaddle up sack for her, she liked it when she was awake and also for naps. For night time, I used a miracle blanket until he started getting her legs stuck half in, half out so we switched to regular blankets.
This time, I got some muslin blankets because it will be pretty hot when the baby is here and they are big. I also got some swaddle sacks from aiden and anise

Answer

I just used a blanket, I tried a swaddle with velcro but it was so loud and hard to get her in if she was sleeping, but the blanket was easier to maneuver for me personally. Then I stopped swaddling between 2-3 months old so that we didn't have to make it a rush when it was actually necessary. That was just for us personally!

Answer

We've used the Halo swaddles and sleep sacks with all 3 of ours and plan to use them with the next baby. We own a few Muslin swaddle blankets too, but I use them more as a shade/lightweight cover for my summer/early fall babies.

Answer

Rule of thumb for swaddling is to stop between 4-5 months because rolling should be emerging anytime and it’s not safe to swaddle a rolling baby. 
We really liked the halo swaddles but we borrowed from a friend who is due at the same time and I just can’t justify the price for the last kiddo. But I think it’s just the Velcro that makes it easy. My first wasn’t picky about swaddles so I am hoping second doesn’t care much either.
