It helped to start with one arm outside the swaddle for a few nights and then both out together. She got used to it pretty quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2319465 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 11:44:49 +0000 LindsayInNY 2319465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: DD is still swaddled at 3 1/2 months. Our pediatrician said she would let us know when she's done with it. So we keep doing it for bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2318222 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 17:30:30 +0000 MrsSRS 2318222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: 3.5 months when we switched. She started rolling and outgrew her miracle blanket swaddle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2318128 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 16:03:38 +0000 bebe211 2318128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>weaned when she started rolling - although i dont think she cared if swaddled or not - her sleep became terrible after i returned to work and 4 month sleep regression</p> <p>5 month old is still swaddled although she breaks out in her sleep but does not wake - i just prefer to swaddle her when putting her to sleep as that seems to keep her came and easier to hold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2318112 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:50:22 +0000 mfa_lady 2318112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD really hated being swaddled--we tried everything (arms up swaddle, other swaddles, etc) but she was not a huge fan. The Woombie was the best, and she wore that until she flipped in it at 12 weeks old. Then, we moved her to a Merlin and it was SO. MUCH. BETTER. She much preferred it. When she started rolling in that (just before 6 months old), we skipped a sleep sack and went straight to a footed sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2318091 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:35:22 +0000 Pumuckl 2318091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS it was at around 3.5 months - he slept in a sleep sack after that. </p> <p>With DD that's a whole different story. She was in der swaddle until 6.5 months - she then started rolling in it (she could roll before that but never did). She moved to a zipadee zip and did fine. She's still in it at 9 months.</p> <p>ETA: both of them slept in their cribs from early on in our bedroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2318072 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:24:50 +0000 MrsADS 2318072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh following... DS is 7wks and without the swaddle would probably wake up after 20-30 mins... He doesn't like it but his sleep would be crap without it. He sleeps swaddled in a RnP and I have no idea how we'll get him un-swaddled into the crib! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2318033 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:09:08 +0000 Mae 2318033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: she was just really dependent on it. Without it she just rubbed her eyes constantlyyyyyyyy and would keep herself up and cry and cry. I tried a zipadeezip but it did nothing. I'd have to rock her to sleep then she'd wake herself up every 30-45 min literally all night long. I gave up and bought a Merlin suit and that fixed the problem. Didn't sleep as well as swaddled but light years better than zipadeezip. That worked for a month until she learned to roll in that too and I gave up gentle solutions and sleep trained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2318023 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:04:18 +0000 LindsayInNY 2318023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: How come? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2318008 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:53:42 +0000 Mae 2318008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: yup.

It's a lot lighter than I expected, but DD runs cold at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2312171 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 21:24:17 +0000 DesertDreams88 2312171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrssrs: @teawithpaloma : The Merlin would be too hot in a house kept at 78 degrees, right? This future LO will be transitioning out of a swaddle seemingly in late April or May, and it's HOT here in AZ at that time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2312142 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 20:36:10 +0000 MrsSRS 2312142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS I swaddled for an embarrassingly long time. We switched from swaddle and rock n play to merlin and crib at 3.5 mo with DD. I think the merlin is the reason she's still STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2312140 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 20:35:40 +0000 Mae 2312140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 mo. it was awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2312137 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 20:34:26 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2312137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 10 weeks and has been breaking his hands out of his swaddle the last few nights. I haven't noticed much difference in the amount of sleep. I was considering getting a magic blanket but sounds like he would probably wean in a few weeks anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2311955 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 15:18:12 +0000 Coffee-lover 2311955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is 4.5 months and we just went cold turkey about a week ago because she started rolling over. I started by having her sleep unswaddled in the rock and olay because she flailed like crazy when she was in her crib. She seems to have gotten used to that so we put her in the crib last night and she did great for half the night. Then we had to move to the pack and play again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2300196 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:59:46 +0000 youboots 2300196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2300195 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:58:14 +0000 sapphire 2300195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't wean, we just stopped when she could roll over as well as break out of it around 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2300180 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:49:39 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2300180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD loved to be swaddled so we waited a few weeks longer than PPs. We swaddle weaned cold turkey at 3.5 months and switched to just footed sleepers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2300067 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:40:38 +0000 cascademom 2300067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're swaddle weaning right now at 4 months old. The past few nights LO #2 has been fighting his swaddle something fierce. We also just switched him to a Pack N Play from a Rock N Play after a bad report from daycare today. Nothing like the daycare telling you need a room for your second kiddo when you're under contract with selling your condo and buying a house at the same time. </p> <p>I think that we did swaddle weaning with LO #1 at the same time to a crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2300066 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:40:32 +0000 shopaholic 2300066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD around 12 weeks. She really hated being swaddled and we only did it consistently from about 7-12 weeks. </p> <p>DS is 2 weeks and doesn't seem to sleep much differently with or without a swaddle. I usually swaddle him with 1 or both arms out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2300059 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:37:17 +0000 teawithpaloma 2300059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 3 months we switched to a Magic Merlin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2300052 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:36:14 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2300052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With Charlie I remember it was 4 months right before we sleep trained. We did it gradually over a couple of days with one arm out.</p> <p>With Olive I can't remember exactly, but I think it was a little earlier. After swaddle weaning cold turkey with her, she slept through the night for the first time! Alas it was a fluke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2300045 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:35:00 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2300045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember when we weaned. Maybe 4 months?</p> <p>We did one arm then both arms out a few weeks later. Then kind of had the swaddle on as a maxi skirt type look and always called it that. Haha. Eventually we switched to a sleep sack and he is still in that at 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2300039 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:33:16 +0000 LindsayInNY 2300039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD will be 13 weeks tomorrow and she is still tightly swaddled in a Halo a Sleepsack Swaddle every night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2300035 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:31:36 +0000 mrsjyw 2300035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ds1 we swaddle weaned cold turkey at 11 wks and he sttn that same wk! He only swaddled from wks 5-11 though.</p> <p>Ds2 is still swaddled at 10 weeks, but he's in a love to dream arms up swaddle and has slept with arms out too so hopefully won't be too painful (knock on wood). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-swaddle-wean-1#post-2300026 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:28:44 +0000 dolphin 2300026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 was swaddle weaned cold turkey at 11 weeks. She slept the same with or without swaddle so we ditched it. DD2 is 12 weeks and stil swaddled. She sleeps better with it! When did you swaddle wean your LO? </p>
