So he woke up around six times last night due to getting arms out of swaddle. I have the summmer infant swaddleme swaddle and he gets his arms out with the velcro part still in tact. I'm so effing tired... my fibro is killling me. Have had a headache all day. I tried to just not pick him up and shush him back to sleep without re doing the swadddle, didnt work. so i had to keep redoing it everytime he woke up. He doesnt take a paci... the rainforest soother if he isnt too sleepy and swaddled will make him too happy.. i am going to have to put his rnp in room and see if he will sleep in there. he only naps in there unswaddled...and hes fine being not swaddled in there... omgeee what do i do ladies? what kind of swaddle has given u success from the baby houdidni's out there? tia ... hope i hear from some of u soon ..bedtime is in couple hrs

    We used the Halo swaddles for awhile and loved them but stopped when he started rolling. But I agree with PP that it may be time to give up the swaddle since it seems to be a problem. We lay DS down on his side and put a lightweight small blanket in his hands (I am still paranoid so I pull it out of there after he is in a deep sleep).  Having something to grip onto seems to keep him from startling himself and flailing around.  We stay really close to him when we lay him down and pat him on the back for awhile.  It is like a 30 minute process but it works for us.  Good luck and hope you get some sleep!

    Thanks  ladies... i will try and swaddle and once he gets out the first time i will get him out of it and hold arms down and see if he doesnt get upset once he realizes he isnt swaddled... geez louise... So the ssuit really works? Does baby get too hot in it?

    Time for a magic sleep suit! Worked wonders for my swaddle addicted LO.

    This exactly! My LO could busy every swaddle even the Houdini swaddle and we switched to magic sleep suit at night and it has been great

    DD is out of her swaddle now but we transitioned her from the swaddle me brand to the halo sleep sack swaddle brand to do this.  We started with one arm out, then the next night both arms out and wahlah we were swaddle free.

    I would just ditch it.  You are going to create another habit by putting him in the RNP. 

    It's HARD, but it's going to be hard whenever you do it.  We did it cold turkey and it was the best thing we have ever done (with both kids).  Those few nights of rough sleep have in turn given us great sleep now.

    Just be consistent.  You can't start it, and then the next night decide you want to put him back in the swaddle.

    Switch to the magic sleepsuit.  DS was a swaddle sack addict, but he would break out at least once a day for naps, and at least once at night.  I bought the sleep suit about a month ago when Amazon had it.  He was fine with it from night 1.  It really has worked nicely for us.
