Anyone still swaddling?

Hi- My LO is going to be 4 mos next week. We are still swaddling him, partially b/c he has terrible cradle cap and eczema on his face and scratches like crazy. Am I the only one still swaddling or are there others out there...Not sure when I should stop? Thanks

I'm not going to worry about it until 5 mos. Unless I notice her startle reflex is gone before then, then I'd stop.

We still swaddle LO. She is 5 months old. Won't stop until she can roll over and then we will do an arms out swaddle.

We swaddled DD until 6 months and will probably do the same with DS. They just sleep so much better!

Our DS also had very itchy eczema so we swaddled him until we got good treatment for it. He is now being weaned from the swaddle. He is a little over 6 months.

LO is almost 5 months and I still swaddle him. He still has crazy arms. He almost always gets his arms out at night, but he's fine once he's asleep. it's just falling asleep that's hard for him. We'll continue to swaddle until coll

We stopped when LO started undoing the Velcro herself. She's been getting her arms out either through the bottom or top, but still been in it. But when we get up in the morning and the entire thing has been unVelcroed and she's freed hersel

I have actually just started to swaddle my lil one. He did not like it as a new born but has all of a sudden become so cranky whenever he is tired so I have taken to swaddling and rocking and he relaxes and goes right to sleep. He too has eczema and will

I stopped about a week ago (3.5 months). She was getting her arms out andwas waking herself up. We started using baby Merlin's magic sleep suit. It has helped her transition to sleeping with her arms out. In the next month,

we do, DS2 will be 6mo on 5/5. He just sleeps SO much better when swaddled. He is however taking naps un swaddled and on his belly and that's going well, I'm just not ready for belly sleeping during the night, it still makes me nervous. I do plan to work

Stopped a few weeks ago and switched to the Magic Sleepsuit. Sleeps better now then when swaddled and I don't have to worry as much about rolling.

I stopped swaddling a couple of weeks ago and DS hasn't slept since, it's awful; he used to sleep through the night. I stopped because he was starting to rollover in his crib and I wouldn't be able to sleep well knowing that he was getting close
