Help! Need to unswaddle - do I go to sleep suit or sleep sack?
DS is 5 months and 1 week and is waking up EARLY and pretty unhappy, I think b/c he cannot get to his hands (he is used to sucking and gnawing on them all day). I need to unswaddle but he can only roll back to front and gets super upset when stuck on his tummy which is what he will do as soon as he is unswaddled. Should I try sleep suit? Or go right to sleep sack? If sleep sack do I just let him roll over and then fuss/cry until he falls asleep on tummy?

I think the suits are just another addiction to overcome, so I went right to a sleepsack.
Does he go down awake now? It took a few nights of rocking to sleep to get her to sleep unswaddled. Now this week I'm working on putting her down awake. There was one night of bad crying but it's getting easier. If he goes to his tummy on his own, let him.

We unswaddled cold turkey as well and he was still in our pnp in our room. Pretty sure he was three months when we did that and no problems. Now he sleeps in his crib in his room, wakes up once or twice at night. No ccomplaints here. Good luck! You can do it
This, we just stopped with anything all together. Footed PJs are enough. She seems to really like having the freedom
