DD has always liked kicking her legs (it helps her get the gas out) and the great thing about the Halos is that they have tons of room for her to move her legs around whilst still keeping her upper body swaddles. </p> <p>We're just coming out of winter (although winter here is super mild) so she's always slept with a short sleeved onesie, a long sleeved sleeper, and then her swaddle. On really cold nights, we would place a blanket over the swaddle and tuck it into the bottom and sides of the cot. We never double swaddled though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-290358 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 23:22:19 +0000 erwoo 290358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used SwaddleMe the first two months or so and then went to the miracle blanket. It worked really well until he outgrew it length-wise. So now I use the miracle blanket without the foot part and have him wear a sleep sack underneath. It does get a bit on the warm side but he hasn't complained much about it. I just put a short sleeve onsie on. Plus, I have air circulating in the room so that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-290350 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 23:08:00 +0000 skibobrown 290350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the SwaddleMe velocro blanket (plus an extra Aden &amp; Anais on top for extra warmth) for the first several months. Then one day I decided to try the Halo Sleep Sack on a whim. DD started sleeping through the night the very next night, and we never looked back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-290306 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 21:51:19 +0000 pinkcupcake 290306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the Halo sleepsacks and velcro Summer Infant SwaddleMes. I never double-swaddled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-290060 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 18:06:39 +0000 Rubies 290060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the Woombie and then swaddled her over that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-290059 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 18:06:25 +0000 prettylizy 290059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were doing an A&amp;A blanket, then the summer infant overtop in just a diaper for a while. When that got to hot, someone on here suggested I google "double swaddle" and it s a great way to use one A&amp;A blanket sort of like a miracle blanket. It kept her in until we stopped swaddling at 5 months, and it was cooler than doubling up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-290045 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 17:40:13 +0000 HabesBabe 290045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the Summer Infant SwaddleMes (the velcro ones) and a short-sleeved onesie. It's pretty hot, so I think we'll do without the onesie until it cools down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-290020 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 17:21:27 +0000 Weagle 290020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the miracle blanket from 2 weeks until about 3.5 mos. She broke out of every other kind of swaddle. Now we're using the Woombie because she breaks out of the Miracle Blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289379 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 10:02:51 +0000 Freckles 289379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the summertime i left her in her diapers and double swaddled her in the miracle blanket and a+a blanket. My LO also used her fingers to self soothe so i left one arm out. I also discovered that her love of kicking was what got herself out of the swaddle so i had to leave her legs out of the miracle blanket but swaddled in the a+a blanket. Complicated sounding, i know but it worked!</p> <p>Now that it's getting a bit chilly and her room is 72 degrees, i still double swaddle her in a sleeper and she has been fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289325 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 09:41:26 +0000 autumnlove 289325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swaddled with an AA blanket. She usually wore a short sleeve onesie underneath! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289313 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 09:29:10 +0000 Sammyfab 289313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For naps we would do a double swaddle with an a+a blanket and at night we did something called the 'escape proof swaddle' where his arms where held with an a+a blanket and then he went in a summer infant Velcro swaddle (in just his diaper). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289255 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:41:48 +0000 LAGS 289255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a woombie but never used it much either. We started using the cotton summer infant swaddlers and I initially loved them. Now that she's bigger and stronger she breaks out of them in no time and I find it a pain to get on her when she's wiggly. We've since started using a Halo and I'm really happy with it. Its fleece, but on cold nights I drape an extra blanket over her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289192 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:17:55 +0000 pelikila 289192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we double swaddled with A&amp;A blankets we too just kept my son in his diaper and swaddled over that so he wouldn't overheat. It worked great for us. When using a miracle blanket, we would put my son in a cotton sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289145 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 07:41:01 +0000 matador84 289145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep it at 7. His bedroom is the front and sun rises/sets that direction ( yes we have blackout shades). </p> <p>The nurses in the hospital taught me to double swaddle...he is a huge self soother with his hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289123 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 07:08:49 +0000 T.H.O.U. 289123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What temp do you keep your air at? We used the swaddle A+A with a long sleep footed sleeper and she never seemed to get too hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289093 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 06:28:56 +0000 winniebee 289093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the summer infant swaddle me (the Velcro ones) until around 11 weeks when he would just bust out. Then we started using the miracle blanket. He still busts out by morning but we have never double swaddled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289090 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 06:23:58 +0000 heffalump 289090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the summer infant swaddlemes and just a diaper. I never got the hang of swaddling and was paranoid it would come apart if I used a regular blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289081 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 05:41:38 +0000 GrapeCrush 289081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we use the summer infant swaddleme's. he does great in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289079 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 05:39:04 +0000 tequiero21 289079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we just always used the a&amp;a blankets or other receiving blankets. i never double swaddled and they definitely broke out of it. lol i thought our kids were so cute and smart. but i guess all babies wiggle out of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-who-swaddle#post-289069 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 04:16:35 +0000 matador84 289069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been double swaddling LO at night but I don't put him in clothes, he gets too hot. I've also been double swaddling using a &amp; a blankets.</p> <p>How do you swaddle your LO and what do you use? We tried the newborn pods but he hated those and regular blankets seem much better. </p>
