Are you still swaddling?

senoritabella · December 2012

Jordyn is 8 weeks today (gah, time flies!) and we just started swaddling her at night again. We hadn't been for awhile b/c she seemed to hate it. Well, she still fights it, but once she's asleep, she's good.

Anyway, just wondering if you're still swaddling?

milkandhoney77 · December 2012

We are. She hasn't slept without it since the very early days. Probably will keep doing it until she can roll over.

We stopped at 3 weeks b/c she seemed to hate it. Then about a week after that she started sleeping really crappy and I tried it again and she started sleeping great again. Still swaddling!

We still do...just started using a size bigger size so it's a little looser...eventually we'll only swaddle one arm and then probably in another two months we'll stop swaddling...but he sleeps great thu the night so not about to stop.

CnAnA · December 2012

We do, but only at night. We don't swaddle for naps. She ends up breaking at least one arm out of the swaddle as she falls asleep though. We will start phasing out the swaddle in the next few weeks I think.

We do! He just sleeps so much sounder when he's swaddled. He doesn't like it while its happening but once its done his eyes glaze over and he just waits to be rocked to sleep. When he can roll over we will stop, but I am in no rush. Guilty of not pushing tummy time enough over here. I figure, they grow up so fast, and at some point he will learn, I'm in no rush!

We don't. mJ stopped liking it after a while and he sleeps just fine without being swaddled. I do use a sleep sack occassionally though

Vegasbb · December 2012

Yup! We tried going without tonight and he woke up after an hour to play with his hands then started crying he definitely still needs the swaddle !

No we stopped awhile ago. DD is 10 weeks now. She hated it and uses a Halo sleep sack instead and loves it. She sleeps in her crib and I have no problems putting her down even if she's awake.

We stopped after a week. She would break out of the swaddle, even the swaddle me blankets. She slept much better without it.

DS stayed in the swaddle until 5 weeks or so. All kids are different!

jlw1042 · December 2012

No.I stopped after the first week.

nycgirl88 · December 2012

We do. DS is 11 weeks.

lucreciac · December 2012

Charlie is 8 weeks and we just stopped. However we were swaddling with both arms out since he was born, he hated having his arms in and that's what the hospital and pedi told us to do anyway.

JoNi2010 · December 2012

LO is almost 9 weeks and we still swaddle. DH swaddles him with the arms out and I still do it with the arms in. We will probably transition shortly to just the arms out since he is getting more and more curious about his hands. When he starts to roll over, we'll transition to sleep sacks I guess. It's just so cold in this place!

kmitch0303 · December 2012

We use a halo sleep sack with her arms tucked in. I just bought the bigger size yesterday.

nickell5 · December 2012

Yes, both arms in. Always at night, sometimes for naps.

NerdHerder29 · December 2012

Definitely. If he isn't swaddled, he has a really hard time settling down.

blondie42107 · December 2012

We swaddled ds1 at night only until about 5 months.

We will likely do the same with ds2.

Starry Again · December 2012

Yes and she is one of the older babies on this board. Always for night and normally for naps. we won't stop until she can roll over or doesn't like it.

this L is 3 months and we still do, with one arm out but I'm considering putting it back in since he was sucking that hand and making so many noises last night that I got the worst sleep

loolabell15 · December 2012

Yes, but only legs. He hates having his arms confined.

Rachelilly23 · December 2012

LO is 11.5 weeks and we still do. No intention to stop anytime

soon!

WanderingStars23:
Yep, we aren't planning on stopping anytime soon. For one thing, it's too dang cold in our house and it is the only thing that keeps her hands warm. But she also sleeps much better while swaddled.

us too. We weaned DD from the swaddle at around 4 months, and DS not until 6 months. So I forsee a swaddle in our future for a while.

tysgirl2006 · December 2012

meganole25:
Yes. We tried not to last week and it was not good. Swaddle = sleep in our house. We swaddle for naps too. Although we have been trying arms out for naps. Haven't tried for nights yet.

This almost word for word. Love the swaddle!

jamielynnohio · December 2012

11wks old and Absolutely!! LO is in her routine and cries for her swaddle if she isn't swaddled by 8:30. The minute you swaddle she calms. We don't swaddle during the day tho.
