My 4 month old daughter has been swaddled since she was born in one of those swaddle me velcrow ones. She will not sleep unless she is in it, but has now started to break out of it.. waking herself up, and therefor waking up 4 or 5 times during the night. She also wont nap without it on, and will break out of it then as well! WHAT DO I DO?!?
My daughter did this with the larger size so I started napping her on her belly and she loved it and slept really good, so she now sleeps on her belly all the time and does great!
OMG i just watched a video, and i am DEFINITELY going to try this one video i watched . i think you are my new best friend! hahah thank you so much!!!!!
You could try a Woombie. They can't get their arms out of that, but it allows their arms to move a little more freely. We had DD in a Woombie before we just quit the swaddle cold turkey. She still wakes up a lot though..
My son always tried to break free of the Velcro swaddlers too. I put him a Halo Sleep Sack swaddle, with one arm in and one out. this way he can still suck on one hand to soothe himself. He doesn't try to break free anymore since he has that one arm free.

This. The Woombie works for us and they make them for bigger babies. Our LO sleeps so much better in the Woombie. We love it and give it to everyone we know having a baby. Ergo makes a swaddle pod too.
Re: breaking out of swaddler HELP!
What size do you have? Maybe you need to size up?

This!!! Love mine so much! My DD sleeps great at night, naps great through the day. All the sleep keeps her in a great mood.
Plus she looks like a banana-flavored astronaut.
