When she was waking up frequently, we swaddled her back up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-unswaddle-for-middle-of-the-night-feedings#post-1005835 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 06:02:45 +0000 sslm 1005835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: same!!! </p> <p>We are swaddling arms out now, but back when we full swaddled I always kept her swaddled to feed because her arms distracted her!!! In the newborn days we'd check her diaper but these days (16 weeks) she never poops in the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-unswaddle-for-middle-of-the-night-feedings#post-1005820 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 05:23:37 +0000 cmomma17 1005820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting! I do NOT unswaddle! C eats better when swaddled and reswaddling would just wake him up more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-unswaddle-for-middle-of-the-night-feedings#post-1005812 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 04:59:55 +0000 Sweet T 1005812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DS was an infant, I would unswaddle him to change his diaper. Then, I would reswaddle him and feed him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-unswaddle-for-middle-of-the-night-feedings#post-1005809 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 04:55:27 +0000 Boheme 1005809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Halo sacks or Swaddle Me sacks (because I'm terrible at swaddling) and I open them to let his arms free while he eats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-unswaddle-for-middle-of-the-night-feedings#post-1005804 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 04:23:51 +0000 Cherrybee 1005804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep it on while I feed her because she has a habit of jamming her hands in her mouth and it makes for a less frantic feed. She is usually sleepy then but I know I have to change her nappy - and there's always a poop in it - so I unswaddle.... at some point I have to turn the light on (some poop related disaster usually befalls us), baby girl gets grumpy (usually wind related) and then before I know it we are having a meltdown as I fight to get the swaddle back on. Its not unusual for her to have a big nappy explosion once we are re-swaddled as well. I HATE night feeds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-unswaddle-for-middle-of-the-night-feedings#post-1005780 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 02:55:09 +0000 ALV91711 1005780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I did unswaddle to nurse in the night. I found it easier and I usually had to do a diaper change anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-unswaddle-for-middle-of-the-night-feedings#post-1005745 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 01:24:17 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1005745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DS was a newborn, I usually unswaddled him, mostly because his swaddles came loose anyway. I did what @.twist.: did and would change his diaper right before I switched to the other boob. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-unswaddle-for-middle-of-the-night-feedings#post-1005744 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 01:21:48 +0000 .twist. 1005744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do whether its dirty or not. L doesn't feed very well while swaddled and I just get frustrated. I also usually always change him in between boobs. I offer him the second boob after the change just to get him back to sleep. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-unswaddle-for-middle-of-the-night-feedings#post-1005739 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 01:08:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 1005739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you don't smell or hear that their diaper is dirty, do you take off the swaddle or leave it for the middle of the night feedings? </p>
