Unswaddling question

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

I want to start unswaddling DD this weekend probably.  She'll be 3 months on Monday (I can't believe I'm moving to this board already!) and I want to get the unswaddled sleeping down before we start the Ferber method.

Currently I use Halo swaddlesacks and I can still use them in the transition before buying just a sleepsack by wrapping the "wings" around her tummy and leaving her arms out.  My question is - should I put a long sleeved onesie on her underneath the swaddlesack since she's used to having her arms wrapped and warm??  We do use the a/c in our house right now plus the ceiling fan in DDs room on the lowest setting as it's been around 90 degrees each day.  I don't want her to be cold because I feel like that could mess up the transition.

What do you all dress LO in to sleep when unswaddled??

    I would definitely use a long sleeve

    Good Luck. Smile We were unswaddled for weeks but in the last two weeks has gone back to needing to be swaddled to sleep.  She turned 3 mo today.  I hate swaddling her right now becuase it is so warm and even in our ac and fans she feels sweaty when she wakes up.

    LO is dressed in a short sleeved onesie, a footed sleeper, and a sleeveless, lightweight sleep sack for bed. We keep our a/c pretty cool though - 70 deg. What I've read is that you should dress them in a way that mimics your own bed - so if you wear lightweight pjs and sleep with a sheet and a not-too-heavy-blanket, that would be three layers.

    ETA: that would be three lightweight layers - that's what we go for, but again, our house is fairly cool.

    I do either a short sleeve or long sleeve onesie underneath, no sleeper.  I think she's best in the long sleeve but its hard because some evenings are so warm, but then she's cold by morning.

    We did exactly what you're doing. We used the swaddle sacks and just wrapped the wings around his body. When we stopped swaddling his arms in, we put him to bed with a long sleeve sleeper. He's gotten too long now for the swaddles so I've moved to the Halo sleep sacks with a long sleeve sleeper.
