I wouldn't give up on it just yet- he may fight it for a few minutes and then relax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-swaddle#post-111969 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 08:38:24 +0000 Mrsbells 111969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to try swaddling but if my baby doesnt like it and sleeps fine without it, I'll just stop doing it. not all babies like to be swaddled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-swaddle#post-111961 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 08:36:32 +0000 heffalump 111961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also thought LO didn't like the swaddle because she'd fight when we put it on her. But then I learned that LO's don't know what's best for them yet, and after she calmed down she slept better swaddled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-swaddle#post-111815 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 06:24:37 +0000 pelikila 111815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also suggest trying a different swaddle like the miracle blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-swaddle#post-111801 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 05:51:12 +0000 Andrea 111801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I would try it again if he is waking himself up. Maybe experiment with different swaddles if he doesn't like that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-swaddle#post-111779 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 02:13:20 +0000 808love 111779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep...we ultimately used the Miracle Blanket since her reflex and will was so strong. It gave her much more rest until 3 months old when we unswaddled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-swaddle#post-111774 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 01:45:59 +0000 looch 111774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't swaddle at first, but my son's Moro reflex was very strong, so he'd wake himself up a lot at night. One night, I swaddled him out of desperation...he loved it. I know this is hard to believe, but he'd even put his arms down at his side when I got him into the swaddle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-swaddle#post-111754 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 23:36:03 +0000 enjollah 111754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my LO came home from the hospital we swaddled with a blanket. We started using a sleep sack with a velcro swaddle part but recently whenever I put it on, my LO starts to fuss a little and grunt as if he's trying to break free of his pseudo straight jacket. This makes me think he doesnt like it. I'll then nurse him until he calms and gets drowsy. I've experimented and tried letting him sleep without the swaddle part but his little active arms will touch his face/head and then wake himself up! Should I still swaddle? </p>
