Should I stop swaddling?

These past three mornings I find DS on his tummy when I put him to bed swaddled on his back. Is it time to stop swaddling?

  • When DD started that, we stopped swaddling at night and just keep her in her Halo sleep sacks.

  • I would.  I swaddled DD from her chest down (she sucks on her hands instead of a paci) and also had her in a sleep positioner.  When she rolled and moved the sleep positioner, I knew it was time to quit....  it has been a rough 2 nights with 2 wake ups each night as opposed to her normal 8-10 hours straight.  I figure she'll get the hang of it soon and resume her normal sleeping.
  • Yeah, I think it's time to stop the swaddle.  I'm just waiting for my DD to do this.

  • Yes!  It is important to stop when LO can roll over, especially when he is rolling onto his tummy while swaddled.  I have found weaning gradually to work well, but in your case, it'd be best to go straight to a sleepsack.  Halo Sleepsacks are great!
