I doubt they will let me use it there, but it would be good for home. </p> <p>@hummusgirl: we are wrapping the middle. I asked if we could do that there and it was a big fat negative. Ugh... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-teach-lo-to-nap-unswaddled#post-571575 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:58:06 +0000 hummusgirl 571575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you said both arms out doesn't work, but are you still swaddling the middle? If both arms have to be out for daycare, maybe try a sleep sack with those arm flap things around the middle so she still feels somewhat secure. </p> <p>We just weaned from the swaddle at 4.5 months and I don't think it would've worked earlier. Good luck, I feel for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-teach-lo-to-nap-unswaddled#post-571545 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:28:39 +0000 prettylizy 571545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or, I saw another mama on the boards talking about one of these a while ago.... it's not techincally a swaddle but it works kind of like a swaddle/sleep sack for crazy arm babies.</p> <p><a href="http://zipadeezip.com/" rel="nofollow">http://zipadeezip.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-teach-lo-to-nap-unswaddled#post-571541 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:26:12 +0000 travelgirl1 571541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SLR: so sorry she's been so tired. Have you tried taking in other things to help her sleep there, like maybe if you slept with a blanket of hers for a few days then took it in, it will smell of you so may comfort her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-teach-lo-to-nap-unswaddled#post-571537 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:19:44 +0000 SLR 571537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonLong: I have a sleep sheep at home, but it's already on the fritz so we haven't been using it much and I don't think she has missed it. They did say we could bring one in though so perhaps I will go get another.</p> <p>@NerdBee: She is twelve weeks and can't roll over yet. I was JUST thinking how that could solve our problem!</p> <p>I'm going to ask them about it again tomorrow. It's a Kindercare, so not sure if it's a company policy or not. I read somewhere that in IL a doctors order is required to swaddle and know that Bright Horizons will do it with one. At a minimum, I would think they should use the sleep sack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-teach-lo-to-nap-unswaddled#post-571533 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 21:17:39 +0000 prettylizy 571533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>would they zip her in to a woombie or is it an arms must be free rule? Our LO was a swaddle addict until 5.5 months :T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-teach-lo-to-nap-unswaddled#post-571515 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:58:04 +0000 SleepyMonkey 571515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't have much advice, but i hope she gets used to it soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-teach-lo-to-nap-unswaddled#post-571513 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:55:32 +0000 NerdBee 571513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can your LO roll over on her belly yet? The only way my LO could sleep without the swaddle was on his belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-teach-lo-to-nap-unswaddled#post-571472 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:29:58 +0000 LemonLong 571472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you use a white noise machine at home? Could you bring that in? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-help-me-teach-lo-to-nap-unswaddled#post-571394 Sun, 17 Feb 2013 19:34:35 +0000 SLR 571394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO just started daycare last week and it's not going so well. She is three days into it and already sick with her first fever and cold. But my bigger issue is that daycare won't swaddle and I can't for the life of me get her to sleep without one. Her arms are just too crazy! At home, we can do one arm out no problem, but not both. </p> <p>She's hardly slept at all at daycare (I'm talking 8 minute naps) and totally conks out when she gets home. Now that she has a cold to get over, I want to make sure she is getting plenty of rest. Does anyone have any good tips? I do have a sleep sack there but they seem really weird about even putting that on her. </p>
