I'm not sure what to do for the best. My oldest was a horrible sleeper so it didn't really matter what we did (!), but S is a great sleeper - falls asleep independently, with a few dummy replacements, and only wakes 1-2 times per night - so I'm terrified of breaking it!!

S is 17 weeks now and loves her hands. She gnaws on them all day long. But when she's tired, she gets crazy hands - they fly about, smacking her in the face and ripping her dummy (paci) out. She is still swaddled, but she fights the swaddle now and has started waking herself up by bursting out of the top! We tried her without the swaddle once and it was a disaster, her crazy hands went wild!

Any ideas? The Merlin Magic sleepsuit isn't available here. I'm not sure whether to go through a few difficult nights to see if she can be swaddle weaned, or stick with the swaddle and deal with her bursting out..... we cant let her cry for even a second because E is a really light sleeper and wakes at the slightest peep; she's only been STTN for two months so I'm not going to risk it.

She takes 4 1hr naps a day and falls asleep almost as soon as the swaddle is fastened. I dont want to break it.....
