what is the point of swaddling with the arms out?

Just curious - I thought the idea was to keep their arms by their side so they can't wake themselves up when they start moving their arms around?

    Yep, but when weaning sometimes it helps to still be wrapped tighter than a traditional sleep sack.

    my baby will be mad at me if I wrap up her arms...she hates it with a passion.  But I do swaddle the rest of her body and she loves the warmth and tigthness.

    B/C when I try to wrap them in - he cries in protest. As soon as they are out, he's quieter than a mouse!

    He makes the rules - not me!

    DD had to have her arms in and DS had to have his out from day 1.

    The lc at the breast feeding class said you should leave at least one arm out so that the baby can show signs of hunger like sucking on their hand.
