Dumb swaddle question

rtv3 · July 2014

So right now DD sleeps in the PNP napper in the living room (one-bedroom apartment). To swaddle her, which we do only at night, I lay a blanket on the dining room table and then the swaddle blanket on that. After her bath, I nurse her, lay her on the table, swaddle her, hold her and sway a little, and lay her in the napper. Easy peasy.

But now we're moving to a 2 bedroom and setting up a crib. So - dumb question- where do I swaddle her? On the changing table? It seems so little compared to our 4 person dining table. And I can't have her facing me. I don't like change

(

Except I'm actually really excited for her to have her own room :-) No more hiding out in our room once she goes to bed!

Swaddle her in the crib!

I just swaddle wherever I happen to be. Couch, bed, crib if I'm in the nursery.

We use our bed.

We usually swaddle in the crib. Occasionally on the couch in the living room. DS likes being swaddled when he needs help calming down/going to sleep so we've gotten pretty good at swaddling him anywhere!

If I am using a big swaddle blanket, I just use the floor in LO's room. If I am using a sleep sack/swaddle thing, I use the changing table.

We use our bed too. Occasionally the changing table.

We use the bed or crib...but it is also a lot easier since we started using the Halo sleep sacks to Swaddle LO. They are so easy and a lifesaver during late night diaper changes bec it unzips from the bottom and you can keep their arms swaddled and secure!
