if you swaddle LO and leave LO w/ someone

Do you have to train them on swaddling?  Stick out tongue

Its one of the only reasons I dont like swaddling...I feel like I have to give a tutorial on how to swaddle DD and then explain the "shhhhhh", the rocking and the white noise machine! LOL

    We just use the swaddle blankets with the velcro, that way its pretty self explanatory on how to swaddle them! :)

    Lobster is the only person I've had to teach to swaddle. My sister sucks at it, I just told her to make him into a baby burrito. Otherwise, everyone else seems to do well.

    ETA: I pretty much figure that they'll do it their own way. If it works, Little Lobster will be happy. If it doesn't work, Little Lobster will give them a fit till they figure out what to do to make him happy. Either way, as long as they keep him breathing, I don't care what they do as long as it works for them.

    I wish I could more like this! I get totally unnecessarily stressed about the dumbest things when we leave lo with someone. Like the swaddling, feeding, etc. I need to chill out! :-) And to OP-we use the swaddleme blankets with the Velcro so it's pretty quick and easy.

    I guess I never really thought about it.  We have Halo sleepsack swaddles, which actually have little picture directions on the inside.  But so far only grandparents or daycare have baby-sat my kids, so as I said, I never even thought about it.  I am pretty anal with instructions before I leave the kids though!

    Yup we did (when we swaddled). Even now, we still give very specific bedtime/naptime instructions.
