The Woombie

rsheehan10 · July 2013

For those of you who are woombie users how long did it take your LO to get used to it? We had our first night last night. He struggled in the begining however eventually fell asleep. We got 5.5 hours out of him in the crib! We usually only get 3 hours in the crib. We transitioned to the crib 2 weeks ago and it has been rough. Previous to that he was STTN in the RNP.

Also, after his long stretch he wouldnt go back down in the crib so i pu thim in the RNP. I feel like he strugggled more with the wombie in the RNP because his hands were so close to his face and he looked uncomofortable. any one you ladies also find this to happen with your LO in the RNP with the woombie? i woudl hate to switch swaddles in the MOTN. Thanks!

Our LO struggled at first as well. When he transitioned to the crib is when we started using the Woombie. It took our DS about a week to really get use to it. We flopped back and forth between the Woombie and the Halo swaddle me sacks during that week. Eventually DS loved the Woombie and would probably still sleep in it given the option (he rolls back to belly now). Best of luck to you!!!!

The Woobie worked well for us early on, but then LO would struggle more with his hands close to his face. He needed to be swaddled with his hands at his sides or else he'd fight it like crazy. We found something called the "Swaddle Strap" that worked well for us, bc it just goes around their arms and then legs are free. My LO was a reflux baby and a swing addict, so having legs out allowed us to still strap him into the swing. Might work with a RnP as well? Later, we were able to transition to just wrapping one arm, and then we lost it completely.

Just a suggestion - good luck!
