Do you swaddle for all sleeping?

LO is not loving the swaddle and so I stopped using it. But sleeping on her back without one gets a startling wake up several times a night or during the day for a nap, so when should I put it on her when shes eating before bed, after a bath, I need some guidance ladies.

Re: Do you swaddle for all sleeping?

  • My son likes to be swaddled at night, but not during the day. I swaddle him when I put him in his pj's for the night. He also startles at night without it, so this seems to work best.?

  • We swaddle our DD but only at night for bed.  I put it on her after he last bottle and then put her to bed. 
  • Just at night. He sleeps long stretches when swaddled and I'd rather those stretches be at night! Wink
  • We use it only at night (not during naps or while he's nursing.) ?

    I usually bathe him, nurse and then when he's relaxed and sucking on a paci, I swaddle him. He's usually pretty drowsy by the time I finish wrapping him at night.?

  • We swaddle for all naps ... I've experimented with not swaddling, or leaving one or both arms out, but at this point, he still seems to sleep better with the full swaddle. He cries sometimes when I'm swaddling him (He used to do this MUCH more) but once he is swaddled, he sleeps better.
  • I swaddle for all sleeping. DS refuses to sleep more than 30 minutes when not swaddled.
  • Only at night and he kicks out of it 90% of the time anyway.
