He never does that. Poor guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-or-not#post-857422 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 00:01:06 +0000 Smurfette 857422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: both!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-or-not#post-857166 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:37:48 +0000 lovehoneybee 857166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO never really tolerated being swaddled, and he slept so much better when we didn't even try! (We did put him in a sleep sack, though.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-or-not#post-857116 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:27:27 +0000 aprk 857116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: jealous bc you want her to not be swaddled, or just bc you want her to sleep? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-or-not#post-857088 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:25:05 +0000 Smurfette 857088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am jealous! R isn't ready yet. We tried a bigger Swaddle me blanket last night and she was up way too many times. Day care is even swaddling her to try and get her to nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-or-not#post-856820 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:31:11 +0000 aprk 856820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: finding the hands is key, I think! I am sort of worried about not having the swaddle to say HEY, nighttime sleep! I'm hoping the dark and the white noise will be enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-or-not#post-856783 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:24:39 +0000 birdofafeather 856783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it would be hard to wean but once she found her hand, it's been easy! We still wrap her in a sleep sack with the swaddle around her but I think it's more a trigger than anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-or-not#post-856646 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:56:43 +0000 shopaholic 856646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! K was about 11 weeks too when she started fighting the swaddle. We've been swaddle-weaned about 2 weeks or more now! I'm so glad I don't have to worry about swaddling to wake her up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-or-not#post-856631 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:53:38 +0000 RubyCali 856631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice! We went through the same with DD (15 weeks). She kept fighting the swaddle so hard that she would end up breaking out of it anyway. We started with one arm out and now do both out, but keep her bottom half swaddled. I tried to switch to a sleep sack and that was a disaster, so I'm going to keep the arms free/bottom half swaddle for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swaddle-weaning-or-not#post-856599 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:48:51 +0000 aprk 856599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A has been swaddled pretty much every night since birth (he's 10 weeks). He has successfully rolled over from his tummy to his back several times with intention, although not the other way around. I figured we are still safe with the swaddle since he goes down on his back. </p> <p>He's also been recently able to be put down drowsy but awake (hooray!)</p> <p>Tonight, I swaddled him, rocked him a bit, then put him down. I know he was sleepy, but he was just fighting it. I decided to try something new - I took his swaddle off, and BAM. Asleep. Not sure if it will last, but I was shocked. </p> <p>Babies ... always keeping you guessing! </p>
