You won't have to go through swaddle weaning!<br /> My LO is obsessed with swaddling and I fear the day we have to wean. Luckily for me, he shows no interest in rolling over so I might get to keep swaddling for longer than I expected! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553512 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 09:54:54 +0000 travelgirl1 553512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A doesn't like being swaddled either, it makes her mad! But it does make her sleep better so we do it. We're trying to ween her off it but am sooo scared of my precious sleep disappearing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553505 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 09:52:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 553505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed! DD wanted to sprawl out and sleeps with arms above head an legs open, our sleep sack has to be big on the bottom for her to be comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553495 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 09:48:38 +0000 regberadaisy 553495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are REALLY good sleep stretches! At that point I was praying for 2 hour stretches! And yes, M hated being swaddled as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553491 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 09:46:20 +0000 littlek 553491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO did not like being swaddled, he liked having his arms out. I think when he was really little he was okay with it but around 2 months he hated the swaddle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553487 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 09:44:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 553487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, my LO *hated* being swaddled. She would turn brick red and got so angry!!!!! She would be so pissed and would then just spend her time trying to break out of the swaddle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553433 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 09:21:44 +0000 immabeetoo 553433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: how'd it go without the swaddle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553411 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 09:13:38 +0000 autumnlove 553411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was never a fan and she always managed to wiggle out to get her arms above her head. I never tried double swaddling or anything like that.<br /> She started STTN when we put her in a sleep sack without the swaddle piece at 8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553402 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 09:08:53 +0000 littlebittyhouse 553402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grae hated the swaddle at first but then grew to really love it. I was actually really sad when we couldn't swaddle him anymore due to rolling over :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553366 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:36:08 +0000 mediagirl 553366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M hated the swaddle, too! I bought miracle blankets and swaddlemes and never used them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553360 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:25:29 +0000 buffalove 553360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS hated it too! We also did armpits down for awhile but then used nothing when he slept in the RNP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553356 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 08:15:09 +0000 rachiecakes 553356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J HATED the swaddle. He would tolerate from armpits down for a while but once he really became aware that the swaddle was still on him, he would kick and thrash until I took it off.<br /> He also hated the Ergo and infant insert because it's kind of like a swaddle.<br /> Frustrating..... especially when you buy all these cute A&amp;A swaddles, miracle blankets and Ergo accessories, hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553335 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 07:41:46 +0000 PrincessBaby 553335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree! H gets PISSED if her arms are in the swaddle! She wakes herself up fighting to get them out so we just swaddle her from armpits down:). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553300 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:50:32 +0000 lovehoneybee 553300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! It was always a losing fight to get E swaddled...whenever we managed to ignore the screaming (which would start as soon as we did) he's inevitably break out of it. He loves his sleep sack, though! Hope A sleeps well tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553291 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:11:12 +0000 Bao 553291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree! LO hated to be swaddled. Hated hated hated. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-all-babies-love-swaddling#post-553288 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:01:21 +0000 mrsjyw 553288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So ds didn't like being swaddled very much so we weren't aggressive about it after week 2. We coslept his first month on the couch. He slept on the nb lounger (tsk tsk I know) with me dh or my mom for the first month. At six wks we transitioned him to pnp and crib sleeping and were nazis about swaddling in order to make the transition work. He was doing 6-8 hr stretches until this past wk where it's been 5-6 for his longest first stretch. </p> <p>Hs great at putting himself to sleep and usually fusses when he akes up from having his arms bound. So tonight when he woke up for his nighttime feeding I put hin down w his arms unswaddled in the halo sleepsack. He's passed out! Wish us luck on this unplanned swaddle weaning. </p> <p>And just a note to mamas that some babies do sleep.better unswaddled! </p>
