life after swaddling?
We had swaddled DD from birth - 2 weeks and then starting again at 10 weeks. I found a swaddle approach that worked amazing with her (using two blankets). She has been breaking out on occasion and is now at the rolling over stage. This morning, I woke up with the blankets around her face-- she was awake and cooing. It made me pretty nervous -- she still seems to need to be swaddled though and doesn't do well with the halo sleepsack/ swaddleme/ etc. I have a larger sized halo sleepsack that I might try and see how she does though.
How do I transition her out of swaddling?
Re: life after swaddling?
We couldn't swaddle DS for very long. He was too big to fit into and too strong to stay in receiving blankets before 2 weeks old, then we tried bigger baby blankets, but he broke out of them. He loved having his hands by his face - even in the womb. We tried swaddle me's, but he quickly grew out of those also.
He did great without swaddling, we just stopped doing it. I wasn't good at getting a nice tight wrap, so when DH went back to work at 10 days, DS wasn't wrapped much during the day anyway. We were also told that once LO can roll over, it's ok to let them sleep on their belly - they sleep more soundly that way anyway, which is the problem with it too early on. Put LO down on their back, and they're on their own from there.
