So my Houdini Hannah managed to wiggle out of her swaddler and had it up around her face. So naturally I freaked out and decided no more swaddling....well that was 2 sleepless nights ago I have her in a sleep sac now, but she still frequently startles herself awake. Any suggestions? Are there lightweight breathable swaddles out there that I wouldn't have to worry if it's by her face?
Thanks!!
Re: swaddling??
I'd love to see how your DH did this...
So we double swaddle our little escapee. We use the swaddle me blankets, and then use a receving blanket over it. we get her legs up nice and secure, and pull the ends so we can tie them around her shoulders. In the past almost 10 weeks she's escaped out of that maybe 5 times-and we swaddle her for every sleep period.
The corner piece that you wrap last, just kind of wad it up into a skinny end piece, then grab some of the fabric at the bottom by their feet and do the same. Then using the end piece, tie a not around the feet piece. The knot ends up being off to the side. It's a pretty small knot and easy for us to undo (just not for her!). It only works with the muslin blankets though. Also, we pull her legs straight when swaddling so that when she kicks, it's not pulling on the blanket, which seems to help keep it in place too.
