Who still swaddles???

Since my LO has had total sleep regression this past week we decided to try losing the swaddle to see if that would help.  He was up probably 5 times between 7-12.  We ditched the swaddle at 12 and he fidgeted in his crib until 1 then started crying.  Out of desperation we reswaddled him and he slept until 5.  So, big fail!!!!

He hasn't rolled yet so there is no real immediacy to get rid of the swaddle.  I'm just wondering if anyone else thinks they will have to swaddle their LO until college like me????

This sleep regression is killing me....I feel like a zombie.

    We're still swaddling. Her arms come out in the middle of the night and she doesn't seem to care but she loves it to get to sleep.

    We swaddle, too.  He doesn't fall or stay asleep as well without it.

    Every other week or so we try to lose the swaddle but DS won't have it! We only swaddle uder the arms though because he likes to suck his thumbs/ fist. I fon't think we will ever lose it either!

    Ya know...I might be with this plan. We swaddle one arm and she sleeps in her RnP at night. But she is STTN more often than not so why fix what ain't broken?!

    This exactly! We tried to swaddle with both arms out, and it was a disaster! He loves to have one arm in.

    totally swaddle.  We swaddled DS1 till he was about 5 or 6 months.  He eventually would bust his arms out at night but slept fine.  It was more about getting him to sleep that he needed the swaddle.  Then we just stopped using it.  I'm planning to do the same with DS2.  Why rush it?

    We still swaddle.  I have great difficulty putting him down arms out- he wakes up right away.  Most of the time he breaks out by the time he wakes up again.  The crazy thing is it's like I swaddled him under his arms, the cloth isn't up by his face.  I don't know how he does it.
