I know that in order to aid LO's development we need to stop swaddling so they have the opportunity to move around at night in their sleep. But I'm confused as to what constitutes swaddling.
We use a halo sleep sack and successfully transitioned to "arms out" sleeping. However, is the fact that her legs are still in a sack mean she's still swaddled? We also still wrap the Velcro around her waist.
Im just confused if she should be completely free during sleep now or if sacks are still ok and allow for proper development. I'd have her out of the sack if it wasn't so cold at night here, so if getting out of the swaddle means having free legs too I'd love your tips on keeping your LO's warm at night!
Re: Swaddling question
another idea to keep lo warm on a cold night at night would be a fleece footed onesie if you are still concerned with the sack.
They do make just sleep sacs to use as wearable blankets that don't have Velcro wings and then we have some pajama sacs that are fleece and have fleece arms but a sac bottom that we use for colder nights.
