Parenting after a Loss

my daughter is Houdini

Yesterday there was a post about swaddling and I wrote how we have to DOUBLE swaddle DD because she busts out of everything. Well last night we did our usual Miracle Blanket with a sleepsack over it. I woke up this morning and she had one arm THROUGH THE SLEEVE of the sleepsack. Not only did she somehow bust out of the Miracle Blanket, but she also managed to get her arm out of the hole of the sleepsack.

How am I ever going to be able to put this girl in her crib where we can't see her every move?!? Seriously I don't think I could have gotten out of that!

  • We had to stop swaddling DS because he was always breaking out of the swaddle. With him it was the legs. He has some mighty powerful legs and he would get those out first and somehow it seemed to make it easier for him to free his arms.

  • Isn't it amazing how they do that?  We will find our Avery on the complete other side of the crib sometimes...she just seems to scoot herself around.  And the arms seem to bust out of every swaddle as well...

    You might want to get a video monitor.  It would help you with the transition to the crib so you can watch her as she performs her stunts! I like it so I know she hasn't wiggled through the swaddle and has it over her head or something.

  • Yup, I think it's time to give up the swaddle!  I feel when they are able to get out of them and are moving around that much, swaddling could actually pose a hazard.  You wouldn't want them to get totally caught up in the swaddle, or not be able to access their hands if they get themselves in a pickle.

    What we do is just swaddle DD's body... hands are free.  She adjusted just fine.  To be honest I don't think she ever really liked swaddling... 

  • LOL. ?Kiran always gets his right arm out of the swaddle. ?Dave calls it his "Black Power" salute. ?I'll try to PIP.
