Should I try to stop swaddling now or later?

Question

My lo is 13 weeks and completely dependent on being swaddled. Every couple of days I try a nap with one arm out and it never goes well.

I'm feeling like maybe I'll just suck it up and deal with bad napping for a week until she gets used to it? I thought maybe I should do this before the dreaded sleep regression. Or should I just leave it alone and do what's working?

Answer

My son is 12 weeks old and I stopped swaddling around 4 weeks. He just wasn't havin it and he was getting really hot. Still to this day he is always hot and we rarely use blankets (we live in Southern California) so I would say whenever baby is over it just let them be. He still sleeps good without being swaddled. Sometimes I let him fall asleep in his swing and he loves it. I've learned parenting is all about learning what your baby likes. Not all babies are the same.

My LO is 15 weeks and I just went through this transition😧 its been a rough one. I too was hoping to hold out till the 4mo regression, but she is rolling so no such luck! I say wait it out

Answer

My 16werkvold was completely the same. But we had a huge heat wave and I said it was completely ridiculous to keep swaddling, so we went cold turkey!!!

It's hard but it will be worth it in the end. Done 5 days so far x
