We only swaddle LO at night. Should we be swaddling her all day long?
-
My daughter wanted nothing to do with swaddling, so we only did it at night, when she was too tired to fight us. After a few weeks, we gave it up entirely, and behold, she started STTN. I think it's totally fine to just swaddle in the evenings.

We swaddled for naps and bedtime until about 4 months
-
We only did for night and naps. I wouldn't do it all day long, I'd want her to be able to stretch out during the day. Ahh those newborn stretches are so cute!
-
@sandy: same, naps and bedtime. She wouldn't stay asleep without it.
-
The first 2 weeks, but she only liked arms out. Then we switched to the Halo sleep swaddle sack only at night.
-
Only for naps and bedtime, once the swaddle was on and binky was in, it's like E knew it was time to sleep!
-
What are these newborn naps I keep reading about? My LO sleeps all day, wakes up to eat, and then cries until she falls asleep again!
-
@HLK208: bikini on your newborn, eh?
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: dang it, you caught my typo before I edited haha

No swaddle here. LO hates it and prefers to have his arms free.
-
We only swaddled for sleeping time. DS was a lazy eater so we had to practically strip him down to keep him away enough to eat!
-
No, LO hated being confined, so I figured in the R&P she had enough "comfort" and we never had issues with sleep.
-
As one of the 5s's, we'd swaddle if he was fussy and couldn't calm down. Otherwise, we really only swaddled for sleep.

We only swaddle at nighttime. I tried swaddling her yesterday during the day for a nap so shed sleep in her crib but it didn't work.

I only swaddle at night.
