Sleep after swaddle?

Question

So my daughter use to sleep 5-6 hours when she was swaddled. Now she’s too big to be swaddled & we transition her cold turkey. Any tips on getting her to sleep?!

Answer

I'm not sure depending on your weather, exactly how old and big your baby is, but I found using a velcro swaddle without the arms in and then only putting baby to sleep in a fuzzy zipup sleeper helped. I transitioned in the late fall when a thicker outfit was appropriate which might have allowed my kid's transition to go smoothly. If that doesn't work I'd get a transitional swaddle because they come in pretty big sizes sometimes.

Answer

How old is your LO? Is she starting to roll? If not, just get bigger swaddles lol. The indicator to stop swaddling is rolling, not size. 
For us we had to transition around 4.5-5 months and it was roughhhh but I think it also coincided with the 4 month sleep regression. 
A sleep sack will help a little.. we got a quilted (1.5 tog) halo sack with arms that seems to dampen the startle reflex slightly. but we honestly just suffered until we sleep trained her at 6 months.

Answer

Grab a sleep sack.
