Swaddling blanket -- what are best for summer?

CilleyCilley
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I gave birth to beautiful baby Benjamin last Tuesday, June 15th, and we are having issues with swaddling him at bedtime.  We have muslin swaddling blankets, but he seems to get his hands out so fast.  What other materials can you use?  What swaddling blankets work?  TIA!

I know my ticker is wrong, but kind of busy these days.  I'll fix it soon.

    Halo swaddle wraps!  They make knit ones that are cooler than the fleece ones for summer.  My LO's LOVE them!

    We use the Miracle Blanket at night and dress her in footed pajamas (we don't swaddle during the day).  We set the A/C in our bedroom (she sleeps in a PnP next to our bed) at 68 degrees.

    We always had problems with her arms escaping out of the blanket..we use the halo sleepsack cotton swaddle-nice for nighttime so you aren't worried about the blanket getting loose or the aden and anais swaddle blanket (use for naps)-very big,lightweight, and breathable.

    We use Halo SleepSack swaddles.  So much easier then loose blankets, and much safer too.  We use the cotton ones now the weather is getting warmer, and they work great.  Highly recommend them!

    Thx all!  Benjamin let us know that he doesn't like to be swaddled much at all.  He is ok to sleep in his sleep n plays.  Thank goodness!

    We have been using the flannel blankets I pilfered from the hospital. (I swear my pediatrician told me to take as many as I could get my hands on!)Embarrassed
