He likes to have his hands available. He's been sleeping on his tummy since week 2 so we stopped trying to swaddle early on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2270249 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 06:00:35 +0000 Applesandbananas 2270249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: congratulations!!

She loved it and would continue to tuck her arms in by her sides when we would hold her before bedtime even after we stopped with the swaddle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2270203 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 22:54:21 +0000 autumnlove 2270203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: yes!

At the end he was breaking out but not rolling over and sleeping fine. We essentially had no transition. But in the beginning he would totally startle himself awake all the time, and then it became a sleep cue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2270099 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 19:56:13 +0000 LilSprinkles 2270099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2269898 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 14:07:32 +0000 littlebug 2269898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was around 4-4.5 months. He started breaking out of it, so we did a one-arm swaddle for a week or so, then swaddled arms out for another couple of weeks until we just started putting him in a sleep sack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2269890 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 13:59:23 +0000 Pumuckl 2269890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: both of my kids did that too. That's what helped our parents accept that we weren't torturing them. (Swaddling is uncommon here). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2269707 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 11:57:50 +0000 snowjewelz 2269707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She hated but then needed the swaddle for the first 2 months probably.. Then she only slept on her stomach so we didn't anything... Then we moved onto the magic merlin sleep suit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2269687 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 11:38:22 +0000 Peasinapod 2269687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 months. She had so much trouble sleeping I was scared to give it up. She really didn't like being swaddled but wouldn't stay asleep if she wasn't. Sleep improved so much when she learned to roll and could tummy sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2269678 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 11:33:02 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2269678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4.5 months I think!

Then she started braking her arm free so we did the sack with the swaddle just around her tummy - no arms in... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2269660 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 11:27:06 +0000 Applesandbananas 2269660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I think I missed that you had your LO! </p> <p>DS was over swaddling really quickly, 6 weeks maybe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2269654 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 11:24:50 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2269654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 12 weeks and we still swaddle her because she'll wake herself up if we don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2269296 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 06:48:05 +0000 looch 2269296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loved it, so much so that when he saw that I was swaddling him, he'd put his arms at his side.

However, she really didn't need anything after that. Because it's been a hot summer, she mostly sleeps in just a diaper or a onesie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2269081 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 20:13:28 +0000 MrsStar 2269081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 about 2 weeks.<br /> LO2 only on the day she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2269080 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 20:13:04 +0000 dolphin 2269080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 we stopped at 10 weeks.<br /> DD2 is 6 weeks and still swaddled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-your-lo-like-being-swaddled#post-2269039 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 19:26:53 +0000 Mrs. J 2269039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until about 8 weeks when he decided he was done.
