We swaddled DD for about the first week, then quit bevause it seemed like she didn't like it. Now, we've started again around 2 weeks...she's 3.5 now...and sleeps SO much better swaddled.

  • Well, we're only on day two, but so far Logan loves being swaddled, so we'll keep doing it as long as it makes him happy.

  • Yep, Kalista seems to need it so we're swaddling her at night. She does fine without it during the day though.

  • We are swaddling most of the time.  Sometimes Vivi seems like she loves it & like she's overwhelmed with out being swaddled, but then other times she flips when we swaddle her & goes crazy trying to break free.  She likes having her hands by her head.  We can't figure out what she prefers.  I think she is better off swaddled, majority of the time, for now.  She'll be 3 weeks on Wednesday. 

  • We swaddle. He got really use to it being in the NICU as they always swaddled him in a sleep sack. Most of the time he works his hands out at some point, but it really helps him fall asleep and it keeps him good and warm. I have a couple of the Halo sacks that are great and I am completely in love with the Aden and Anais swaddle blankets (Target).

  • I hadn't planned to and never did with my first 2 kids but this little guy sleeps much better at night when he is swaddled. We are using a Halo Swaddle sleep sack so its pretty easy to swaddle him in my half-asleep state in the middle of the night.. best baby gift we received for this little guy!

  • We've been keeping her swaddled a lot.  I tend to leave one little arm out for her because she likes to have it by her face.

  • I try to swaddle him, but he likes to put his hands on the sides of his head and stretches his legs out. I sometimes swaddle still.. I wish he liked it more. Oh well.

  • DD hated it and slept better without it. I don't think I'll do it with this one either
  • Carter loves being swaddled, if he's not in the moby he has to be swaddled or he'll freak out.  My little burrito lol

  • DH was better at it than me so the first week we were home that he had off of work, he would swaddle him. After he went back to work, I never tried again. But since the witching hour dilemma, I decided to try swaddling him last night. I've gotten better at it and I plan to keep trying at night.

    FTR, but off topic, last night was better in that he did sleep in his bassinet/pnp and not on my chest... But the witching hour was still present and hard. I'm optimistic though that we are getting closer and I think swaddling will help.
