How are you all transitioning from swaddles?

Question

How are you all planning on adjusting your babies from a swaddle? With my first, we did it cold turkey and switched to sleep sack and it was horrible. I want to make sure I’m getting it as painless as possible this time. What sleepers are you all using?

Answer

We have the halo and have been doing one arm out - alternating arms - for the last two weeks. Now we do both arms out with the swaddle around her belly and then if she wakes up and can’t get back to sleep we put an arm in. We’ll do this until she no longer needs to be reswaddled to get back to sleep. She is in a sleep sack during the day successfully already.

Answer

We went from swaddle to a zipadee zip and it worked perfectly. She sleeps just as easily in it and likes it better when she’s awake because she can wiggle around (she hated being swaddled unless she was exhausted)

Answer

We did one arm out then both arms out at naps first. Then went cold turkey for nights. About two nights of adjusting and he’s back to normal.
