How to Quit the Swaddle?

Question

Our son is 19 weeks old now. He loves being swaddled and sleeps well that way. He is almost able to roll from back to tummy. I've been debating on whether to buy a transitional sleep sack or just go cold turkey. I never had this problem with my daughter she loved to be able to stretch out. Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer

We use a zipadee zip

Answer

We ended up buying the Merlin’s magic sleep suit because I was too scared to chance him not sleeping cold turkey lol. The first night was a bit challenging because he kept waking himself up so we ended up swaddling him in the middle of the night. But he’s been sleeping great in it since!!

Answer

We went cold turkey with the 4month sleep regression then went to the weighted Nested Bean sleep sack.

Answer

I used the love to dream swaddle for naps for a while so he would get used to having more use of his arms while still using the swaddle me swaddles for bed (both arms in). One morning he woke up for a feed and he had broken out of the swaddle and was almost on his tummy so we took the swaddle away and started with the zipadee zip sleep sack. I used it for all his naps that next day and by the night he was fine. I was really surprised that he took to it so well.

Answer

We went cold turkey to a sleep sack and after a night or two he was totally fine
