Those of you that swaddled

When did you stop swaddling your LO?  And if you would like to please tell me why?

Re: Those of you that swaddled

  • When: Between 10 and 11 months. Why: Because DD was ready. 

    Lil Miss was outgrowing her swaddle, plus she was more more active (fully crawling, pulling up, etc.) so she wanted more freedom of movement.  We started at nap time with a crocheted blanket, and then began using it more and more at bed time.

  • I guess I ask mainly b/c S rolled over in her sleep last night.....granted, she managed to Houdini her arms out of my stellar swaddling.
  • oh, I see. I was concerned when Lil Miss started rolling too, especially since she could roll from back to stomach for a week before she cold roll stomach to back.  But, like S, Lil Miss wiggled at least an arm out every night.

    Then once she was rolling both ways, I no longer worried.  Will S sleep un-swaddled? My LO wouldn't sleep a full night at that age un-swaddled.

  • I think it was about 4 or 5 months because he would break out of it easily after we put him down.

    I don't know....I'm afraid to try, LOL!  I do allow her to have her left arm unswaddled b/c, ya know, she's an addicted thumb sucker & will cry if she cannot get to it--little 12 lbr won that battle & I'm not up for another battle at it.

    OMG! I saw this the other day and thought instantly of you!
