Anyone else swaddle in the swing?

DD's starte reflex is so bad that I have to swaddle for all naps...even in the swing. Anyone else deal with this??

I actually did swaddle her in the swing at first, and only when I was sitting right there, but stopped at about 9 weeks. She just became a bit too wiggly for my comfort and obviously I can't buckle her in while she's swaddled.

I don't but that is only because we can't strap her in properly in the swaddle.

You might try strapping her in and then tucking the blanket tightly around her once she is in there. It might help and its safer.

Try this! We've had this swaddle blanket since the beginning, and I just found out today what the little slit on the bum is for (I blame mommy brain).

You set the blanket in the seat, pull the bottom buckle through the slit, strap in LO, and then swaddle.

Just check the sizing you would need - the small only goes to 14 lbs.

The 5th image shows how it would work in a carseat - same idea goes for a swing or a stroller.

Edit: I'm not endorsing using this for the carseat - I know that nothing should be added between straps and baby.

You could use a swaddle strap...

We do and use the clasp around her waist because our swing's tray goes between her legs. She doesn't even slip down this way.

We do, and I'll admit that we don't buckle her in. She doesn't wiggle at all when swaddled and we have the FP bunny swing which has a deep bucket.
