How are your babies sleeping?

Question

I have been swaddling my little guy with a muslin blanket. But the last few nights he has been getting his arms out and the swaddle becomes loose so I dont feel it's safe anymore. He is 6 weeks so I'm not sure I want to bother getting swaddle sacks or what. What are you guys using with your little ones. And do they sleep well? He is still up every 2 to 3 hrs, sometimes more frequent. Thanks!

Answer

Ours still wakes up every 2-3 hours. Considering our second did this until he was almost a year old I’m reeeeeeally hoping we can at least get to a 4 hour stretch before my maternity leave is up. We do swaddle him. They Velcro so he can’t get out of them.

Answer

I don’t swaddle my son, never did. We cosleep and he sleeps through the entire night. Every baby is different. You just need to find out what works best for your child

Answer

My guy loves his love to dream swaddle. He knows when it’s put on that it’s sleep time and falls asleep super easy. He still wakes every 3 1/2 hours but he’s always hungry.

Answer

The swaddle me brand blankets are super stretchy and comfortable, my soccer star-eque daughter rarely kicks her way out of that one and it's not too hot or cold

Answer

I personally use muslin blankwts to swaddle but we co sleep. My son hates his arms being in and breaks them out within 5 minutes. I have a really nice sleep sack and a fancy swaddle blanket but he will not sleep in either and ends up a screaming mess until his arms are free. Muslin is super light weight and very breathable.

Answer

I wish the swaddled last we did for a week before he got a taste of freedom and he’s been rebelling ever sincd

Answer

My used to swaddle my daughter (who is now 3)...preferred the little me Velcro ones or else she would escape. My now 2mo old son sleeps best in the love to dream (arms up swaddle). He give me a 5-6 hour stretch first and then a 3 hour chunk. I tried a regular swaddle initially with him be he just grunted all night as if he were super uncomfortable. So far I’m loving the arms up one!

Answer

If you get the bigger halo sleepsack (size small) I think it will last awhile. My baby is big at 7 weeks and I think we still have 7 or 8 weeks left in the swaddle, we will transition her when she starts to roll...

Answer

We use a Halo sleepsack for our 4 week old. We plan to use it until he can roll over. He usually sleeps for 4-5 hours first followed by two 3 hour stretches.

Answer

My 6 week old is still waking up every 2-3h at night. My husband swaddles him really nicely so he can’t get out however he is undoing my swaddle no matter how tight I do it. But my hubby has to travel 1 week every month so I got a swaddle up from love to dream. Can’t say it’s a game changer but it’s better than my swaddling. And I like that you can keep it on when you change his diaper at night. It is pricey but I got just one.
