rolling= unswaddle :(

I talked to a person at LO's apnea program yesterday about how to get him sleeping flat (reflux with danny sling).  She said he needs to be out of the danny sling and swaddle since he knows how to roll over now.  I don't know how we are going to do the unswaddle thing- he goes crazy when not swaddled for sleeping.  We tried it last night and we were able to get him to sleep for an hour like that then he needed us to give him his paci every 30 min to stay asleep so we reswaddled.  I think I am going to try naps without it today.  Do you think it would help to put him in the swing or would that make him need to be swinging to sleep?  Any advice- please?? He is such a fantastic sleeper swaddled- I don't want to get rid of it.

Re: rolling= unswaddle :(

  • I cut cold turkey when we decided not to swaddle. It was hard for the first week, but once we got through that first week, she has sleep better. And actually I've sleep better, not constantly worrying about her getting stuck in her swaddle. 

    Are you worried about him being cold? You could try footie pj's. I guess he likes feeling secure in the swaddle. I would probably not do the swing, because you don't need him to depend on the swing.
