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?

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.
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!

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.

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.
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!
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
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.
Hey I just met you, and you're my baby. This is your family, we're kind of crazy...
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.
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.

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
DS stayed in the swaddle until 5 weeks or so. All kids are different!
We will likely do the same with ds2.
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
LO is 11.5 weeks and we still do. No intention to stop anytime
soon!

This almost word for word. Love the swaddle!

We use the Halo sleep sack, arms in. He fusses regularly around 9 if he isn't put in it by then. I guess it calms him.
He breaks out of swaddle blankets and swaddleme's easily.
