Do you swaddle your 6 wk old?

Bubs06

I stopped swaddling my baby a couple of weeks ago, but at that time I also started co-sleeping.  I'd like to start transitioning her to her crib, but when I lay her down at night on her own, she makes a lot of jerky movements and grunts a lot when her pacifier falls out.  (If her paci stays in then she's calm.)

I'm wondering if she's too big for swaddling because last night when I tried it she fought her way out. 

Any advice would be appreciated.  TIA!

We didn't even start swaddling until about 8 weeks and we're still swaddling at 4.5 months.  I'd say keep it going.

We never really swaddled, except in the hospital. My DD kicks all the blankets off.  She absolutely hates to feel confined.

I swaddled DS till he was 5 1/2 months old.

I have found if I swaddle DD with her arms confined - she gets really ticked off...but if I swaddle her from her armpits down - sort of my version of a mini swaddle - then she is fine.

I think it just depends on the child...

Thanks for all the different responses.  I'll definitely keep trying.

Try using a swaddle me instead of a blanket
