    We did and it was totally fine. He always falls asleep on me because we have to hold him upright 20 mins after feeding due to reflux. I just held him unswaddled one night isntead of swaddled and laid him down like that and he slept great. Hasn't been swaddled once since then (although I may tro to go back to swaddling for naps soon if he doesn't start napping better).

    ETA: He didn't used to nap with the swaddle, he's never been swaddled for naps, so that's not why he's having the nap issues...I just think it might be necessary to calm him.

    I did it cold turkey around 2 months with no problems.

    I also stopped swaddling cold turkey when DD started rolling over at 10 weeks. When swaddled,  she would SSTN 9:30-5:30, go back to sleep after nursing and sleep again until 8am. She now wakes up 2-3 times a night and is up for the day at 6:30. :(  It's stayed that way since then.

    We stopped this past week because he was breaking the swaddle no matter how tight it was.  His sleeping patterns haven't changed (he wasn't STTN anyway).
