No more swaddling?? How does baby sleep?!

Question

Anyone not swaddling anymore ? How does your LO sleep. My LO loves swaddling but she is strong enough to break out and just don’t wanna end up with it over her face or anything.

Answer

My son hates his arms being swaddled so we stopped around 4 weeks. He sleeps just fine. We swaddle his legs and he doesn’t try to break out but sleeps with his arms over his head lol

Answer

I’m so worried about not swaddling. I’d like to get rid of them but he sleeps 12 hours when swaddled and 6 when not. He’s starting to roll and wiggle so I have to get a different one soon

Answer

If you still want to swaddle - try the Swaddle Strap by Anna & Eve on Amazon. It is AMAZING. We were using the Halo sleep sack swaddles and my daughter was not only busting her arms up and out but they would ride up and cover her face 🤦🏻‍♀️ This obviously scared me so I knew I had to find an alternative since her startle reflex is still intense. We just dress her in a long sleeve onesie and footed pajamas pants now with this swaddle and omgosh - soooo much better! It’s also so much easier to hold her/pick her up for middle of the night nursing sessions if you’re BFing. The Halo always felt like it got in the way when I would nurse her 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

We haven’t tried not swaddling him at night, he doesn’t do good in the morning without it so i’m guessing he will not too at night lol... i’m scared he will not sleep since he sleep good ever since he’s been on Zantac lol...

Answer

Also agree with the halo! My LO hated swaddling from the beginning so we just wrap it under her arms around her waist and sill feels snug and sleeps great!...well great for 3 months 😂

Answer

Halo sleep sack! My son loves to be swaddled but around 4 weeks old he started to hate it. So I bought a sleep sack and he loves it!

Answer

My son hates his arms swaddled so we bought the halo sleep sacks and wrap him with his arms out. They’re a little pricey, but make me feel safe since my LO would always break out of his swaddles because he’s such a crazy sleeper.

Answer

We bought the zipadee zip and my baby loves it!

Answer

My girl has to have her arms free but still wants to feel snuggled. I put the corner of the blanket at her head and just wrap the rest around her torso. This has worked well so far. I no longer have the rolled blanket that is seen in the pic because of suffocation possibilities.
