Sleep question?

Baby hates swaddle but reflexes wake him at night.  Any suggestions?

Re: Sleep question?

  • Just swaddle. My lo will cry and fight it for a minute or two but then he fully calms down and sleeps much better

    My LO fights it until he gets so angry he is in a full blown cry and hard to console back to sleep.  Of course there is NO problem in bed with me.

  • DS fought the swaddle, too- but then I plug him with a paci and it's aaaalll good.
  • Do you breastfeed? Sometimes if she's mad I let her breastfeed and she drifts off into dreamy-land - of course it's probably a bad habit for me to let her nurse to sleep, but eh.

    we nurse to sleep. its the only way I can get him to nap during the day! 

  • Ya, just do it anyway.  If you watch the Happiest Baby on the Block video, you learn that the swaddling isn't necessarily what calms them down.  Made a world of difference for us, along with the Miracle Blanket.  Check that out online.  It's the one swaddle my LO can't get out of.
