Swaddle Transition?!

Question

Okay, we're 5 days in to this attempt to drop the swaddle since she's rolling so much AND breaks out a lot. 5 days of perfectly fine day naps, then waking every hour at night until we give up and swaddle her around midnight. I've tried both a sleep sack and just one arm out with no apparent difference. Is this normal, is there something I can change/ try? I'm just blindsided because dropping the paci took like one day. I need sleeeeeep! 😭

Answer

For us it was just consistency. We picked a long weekend to start and did one arm out. After a couple of night he started to settle easier and would sleep for longer stretches. When he started to sleep better I would switch which arm I swaddled. After a week or so of that then we did both arms out with his middle wrapped. It’s honestly taken about a month for him to sleep in just a sleep sack and there were night I would swaddle him back if he just couldn’t handle it. But routine is everything for him.

We have the Love to Dream 50/50 Swaddle where you can have armless or both wings on, it's PERFECT and he loves it!

I also used the Live to Dream arms up thing and it helped a lot! I've also heard that the Zipadee zip works well

Answer

My babe has a Halo Velcro swaddle blanket.  She stopped liking being swaddled so I just wrapped the panels around her waist and left her arms out. I think it makes her feel secure but she can still move around

Merlin’s magic sleep suit is the best thing ever. She sleeps way better now than she did w the swaddle
