We've had difficulty swaddling in the past and lo would scream his head off so we thought he didn't like it. We gave it one more try last night with a large swaddle me that we got. He conked out almost immediately then we were able to get 2 4hr stretches last night where he went right back to sleep after eating instead of being up screaming in the middle of the night which has been his habit. The 3 poop blowouts he had yesterday may have helped with that too.
Re: He likes it.
yay for you>>>>lo is not a swaddle fan either! what kind did u use?
Congrats!! I feel bad because people bought us 3 of those velcro like swaddles. DS will ONLY be swaddled from the belly down. He hates having his arms tucked in. I tried to use the velcro ones and they aren't as effective as a blanket. DS usually kicks out in the middle of the night, but it helps put him to sleep.
