DD is swaddled for her nap now... second time I've done this. She sleeps a long time when swaddled (it's been 2.5 hours already). Do you all experience longer naps when swaddled? I don't want to wake her, but also don't want her to sleep TOO long. She also is swaddled at night and has become a very good sleeper.

Re: swaddle for a nap?
I've always felt DS sleeps longer when swaddled. But after two nights waking up to his Halo sleepsack up around his chin because he has been trying to burst out (and yes, I swaddle with his arms straight at his sides and as tight as I can get it without thinking I'm torturing him!)...I gave them up. He sleeps just as good without them. So maybe I'm lucky.
If I swaddle DS while he is awake he screams...so I would always have to do it after he falls asleep. Which was bad anyway as we have been trying to put him down to bed when he is showing signs of being tired instead of being asleep.

arms in... in the miracle blanket
My LO also sleeps better swaddled. When he gets his arms out he rubs his face and wakes himself up.
We only swaddle at night with arms out because LO was able to roll on her side from like week one and I was just scared that she would just roll over one night.
I dont swaddle for naps because LO refuses to sleep in the crib.
