My baby girl is almost 3 months and in order for her to sleep through the night or take decent naps i have to swaddler her, tight. If I don't do it tight enough she pulls her arms out and wakes herself. But with the warmer months on the horizon I am going to have to break her of this. What did you ladies do? I thought about going looser and looser, then start leaving an arm out, and slowly transition her. Or should I just cold turkey and she will learn? Do I let her just cry when she realizes she is in her crib, usually if I lay her down without a swaddler its only minutes until those big eyes pop open!

My routine now is diaper, bottle, let her belly rest, swaddle, and put her to almost asleep then I put her in her crib with one of those toys that attach to the crib and move and play music. In the warmer months I placed another blanket over her to help hold her in and keep her warm.
