At bedtime he was swaddled like normal. After he woke up the 1st time I would swaddle with 1 arm out. We did this for about a week.<br /> Then I would put him to bed with one arm out and when he woke up I would swaddle his lower body with both arms out.<br /> It took a good 2 weeks but my little one was addicted to the swaddle and did best when weaned slowly - after that we were done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-fail-1#post-1162680 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 07:39:07 +0000 heartonastring 1162680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Magic Sleepsuit. Likely will prevent rolling for quite awhile.</p> <p>There's also the zippadeezip, which is safe for rolling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-fail-1#post-1162660 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 07:23:53 +0000 Foodnerd81 1162660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: it won't entirely prevent rolling but would discourage it because it's pretty stiff. But it definitely would be possible to roll in it if he was determined. C is only 12 weeks and while it keeps her from flailing her arms she can get them to her mouth if she tries. So maybe not worth $40 if he's going to roll it in anyway. It says it's only meant for back sleeping, though would not be as dangerous as a swaddle on belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-fail-1#post-1162640 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 07:07:01 +0000 Pepper 1162640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Can you use that if they're starting to roll? Or does it prevent rolling?</p> <p>@grizz: This is a great idea!! He loves his angel dear when he takes naps. I'm trying this tonight, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-fail-1#post-1162594 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 06:12:15 +0000 Boheme 1162594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give C an Angel Dear lovey til he's sound asleep - that was the advice I got here! I slip it away after. That way when he rubs his face its with something soft. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-fail-1#post-1162578 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 05:49:06 +0000 swedishfish 1162578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never swaddled because R hated it. She had a few rough days of arms and legs flailing when we put her in the crib. A sleep sack helped with the legs because it was harder for her to pull them up at the time. Basically we just got through it, sorry! :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-fail-1#post-1162557 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 03:47:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 1162557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's mentioned here all the time, but we are having great luck with the baby Merlin's magic sleepsuit. C isn't rolling but has been seriously fightin the swaddling for weeks. Got the sleep suit this week and her night sleep seems better- there is no way we could go without any swaddle/ muffling device right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-fail-1#post-1162530 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 00:52:04 +0000 Pepper 1162530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 month sleep regression + trying to put LO to sleep without a swaddle due to rolling = fail city where I'm the mayor. </p> <p>How am I going to get him to sleep without a swaddle during a sleep regression? He'll tolerate the one arm out trick, but both arms means a face clawing free for all. Sigh. </p>
