Unswaddling sucks

DD is able to roll from belly to back and is trying to roll from back to belly, plus she moves around all over the place in her crib, so we're trying to break the swaddling habit. It sucks. We have one arm out for naps, but it's much harder for her to settle down enough to fall asleep, and she's not napping well. Last night I tried one arm out for bedtime, and she woke up 5 times before waking to eat [normally she STTN]. Ugh. I wish there was a better way to do this.

    I agree, DS doesn't do well unswaddled either. He's also rolling belly to back for a week now. I feel like back to belly is coming soon. DS actually sleeps great on his belly which I discovered when he kept passing out during tummy time. My hope is that by the time he's totally unswaddled he will just roll onto his belly by himself and sleep like that, in which case I won't roll him back.

    Yeah it does.  We were doing it with moderate success, and then a Wonder Week hit (and I figured out that's what it was). I'm suspending unswaddling until the WW is over.

    We're doing it too : I just want to cave and swaddle her but I'm sticking with it.

    What is wonder week?

    We tried the Magic sleepsuit and has been great way to wean from swaddle.  Not sure if wonder week will stand in the way of this progress:)

    I went through unswaddling with DS last week. After 4 rough nights, he went back to his old routine of STTN. We stopped cold turkey because he was rolling and as many times those nights that I wanted to just reswaddle him and get some sleep, Im glad I didn't because he got through it and sleeps fine now. Plus I don't have to worry about him rolling and getting his face stuck.
