I'm new to the whole bump/forum thing so don't kill me
my DS was born 9/25/13 but he was a month early so I'm not entirely sure which birth month I fall in. also any tips on breaking DS of swaddling would be muuuuch appreciated!!

Re: new here
I have a question for you @bkennicott11: what makes you want to join this month's board at this point in the whole process? And, do you plan on staying* and contributing to the questions and dilemmas that other mothers might have?
*staying around meaning like for maybe the next few months, not the next few days...
BFP 01/05/2013. EDD 09/18/2013. Low Progesterone. Gestational Diabetes. Rh Negative. Baby Ky-Mani born 100% healthy 09/17/2013. TTC#2 12/2013. BFP 02/01/2014! "Baby RaggaMuffin" due 10/07/2014.
Follow up to @kimberlymacrae's question. Why didn't you join while pregnant? Before having my son I figured I would stop participating after my baby was born. I thought this was a group for pregnancy. Now, you can't make me leave.

@bkennicott11: We are supportive, but it's a two way street so I am glad you plan on staying around
As far as like minded mommies... that's a whole different ballgame. We aren't all like minded which is one of the strengths of our board.

DD never liked being swaddled so I don't have any advice there, but GL!
My baby is still swaddled with no end in sight. He is a month older than yours. I guess I should get on trying to wean him from it....he just loves it so much. Give us updates and let us know how your attempts go. I can't afford to get the magic sleep suit. I wish I could. =(
My baby boy transitioned straight to the sleep sack. I've found the ones made by just born called wear-a-blanket are comforting to him- they have a Velcro piece on the inside almost like a belt across the chest that gives a little extra snugness and comfyness. I also got a great deal on them at my babies r us a couple of weeks ago- they were on sale for about $5 each!
No advice on the swaddle since our LO despised them and was Houdini from the start! But lots of other bumpies will have some experience. Good luck!
We thought our LO loved the swaddle, but once we stopped she slept so much better. We use the fleece swaddleme sleep sack with the arms out option. We still put the swaddle part a bit snug around her midsection, but arms out.
Alexis never liked to be swaddled so we got lucky there.
Welcome !!! I came late to the group too, I definitely recommend sticking around. I had the same experience as @ravenclaw1. DS ended up rolling back to tummy early so it worked out well he transitioned to his sleep sack around 5 weeks. He did like his just born and Carters wearable blankets better in the beginning, I think they were more snuggly. Now he's in the Halo sleep sack.

Good luck to everyone on the swaddle dilemma!!
Oh. Welcome, op
