Breaking the swaddle

We attempted to break the swaddle about 2 weeks ago. The first night was horrible. The second was better. Then the third and fourth were horrible again. We decided it just wasn't time yet.

Then 2 nights ago was horrible even with the swaddle. So last night we swaddled without the arms and she slept great! Such a relief to know my daughter won't need to be swaddled by her college roomate. :D

    That sounds like my experience so far.  But I'm not understanding how you swaddle without the arms?  I'm using a SwaddleMe, we never had success with using an actual receiving blanket to swaddle.

    We have a Halo, which I think is very similar. Just pick up LO's arms and swaddle underneath...like around his/her middle. Or you should be able to swaddle just one arm if that transition is still too big. We didn't do a one arm swaddle at all but I know

    Audrey hasnt started rolling back to front yet, but I am toying with the idea of breaking the swaddle too.

    I am either going to try arms out or a looser swaddle tonight. *It's a velcro swaddle so a looser one still wouldnt work up to her face.<

    Dd pulled the halo swaddle part over her face so now I wrap it around her middle. Actually only did one nap without the swaddle so far! The next nap she kept hitting her face

    Benjamin loves the Halo arms out swaddle too. It was a rough transition for only one night though. I thought it'd be way worse. He has to have that swaddle around the middle though. I've been told that by maybe 6 months he won't need that anymore.

    We have the swaddle me ones and have done the one arm swaddle a few times. I find it's easier to leave the right arm out than the left. Have her arm out and start the swaddle underneath her arm while enveloping the left arm still.

    We only do that

    We still swaddle our 4 month old. Is there a specific age that your supposed to stop? I haven't even thought about when we should stop. My first son never liked being swaddled so this is all new to me!!
