Weaning from the miracle blanket?

Miracle blanket users - how did you stop swaddling? Did you wean (like one arm out, etc...) or did you stop cold turkey? How did it go?

Well we tried cold turkey into a sleep sack one night and he woke up every half hour.  Needless to say he is still in the MB!!!  Have fun!

DS outgrew the MB before he was ready to wean, so we swaddled him in a blanket and now we're doing 1 arm out. I use an extra smaller receiving blanket inside to keep his arm(s) down inside the swaddle-in the same way the MB does. GL!

I haven't tried weaning DD yet but when I do I will try the one arm out technique and see how it goes.  She did go cold turkey a whole night and a half and did well but then reverted back to needing to be tightly snuggled.  GL

We had her legs out for a while, since she was too long for the MB.  Then we did one arm out for a week, then two arms out with the swaddle around her waist for another week.  It worked pretty well.  She was in the middle of the 4 month wakeful when we did it (I figured it couldn't get any worse), so I don't know how much it was disruptive to her.  But she's totally fine being unswaddled now.

We started last night doing one arm out, and will do that for a few days.  Then we'll do 2 arms out for a few more days.  My fingers are crossed that it works!!
