4 months. We kept finding her flopped over onto her belly and stuck that way, so we had no choice to wean since that is a suffocation hazard.

It was a ROUGH few nights, and then she sailed passed it with flying colors! (Although we just weaned last week, and she has STTN two nights in a row, 12+ hours. So I might be excited early. But that's where we are at)

She's still in the swaddle because it is convenient for keeping her warm at night, but her arms are free. We put a long sleeve onesie on her to keep her arms from getting chilly.

6 months, on the dot! I even ordered a new bigger swaddle and we barely used it. Some babies have stronger moro reflexes than others.

I think we stopped around 4-5 months, we stop swaddling basically around the time he could break himself free like superman taking off his suit.

Everyone is different. I have never read it was harmful to swaddle after a certain age anywhere so I think you are fine as long as it works for you and you are both comfortable.

A little after 4 months. She wasn't rolling yet, but she was breaking out of everything, Miracle Blanket and Woombie included. I was scared she would get caught up in the loose swaddles.

We swaddle-weaned just after 4 months but we used the Magic SleepSuit to help transition. Even though my LO looked like the Michelin Man, he slept sooo well with it and there were no changes in his sleep. We transitioned into a sleepsack 5-6 weeks later without issue.

I don't think there's anything wrong with still swaddling as long as there are no safety issues. I think 6 months would have been my cutoff though.

Stopped cold turkey at 6m because DS kept rolling over and getting stuck. He wasn't STTN yet and that hasn't really changed except for after I put him back in bed following a wake-up he wants to play with his pacifier instead of going to sleep.

6 months, she was finally ready to sleep on her belly unswaddled. I had full intentions of swaddling her into her teens if it made her sleep better though! lol!

we stopped really early - like 2 weeks old?

but we also used the Rock N Play for sleep - and I think the cocoon-ness of it sorta mimicked a swaddle.

Around 5 months, when we also tried to sleep train. I only stopped because i felt that we couldn't sleep train while he was swaddled, and he was also trying to roll over while swaddled.

we stopped in her first month because she hated it

Around 6.5 months and we went cold turkey and did modified sleep training.

we stopped alittle before 3 months. we did it cold turkey as well and it didn't affect her night sleep at all (thankfully!) but it did affect her naps. it took about a couple days to get back to normal.

At about 5 months. He was way too big for the ones we had and I wasn't going to buy a bigger size. We tried one arm out but he hated that so we ended up just going cold turkey. It only took him a night or 2 to adjust to it, for awhile we put him down in the swaddle still with the arms undone and it just velcro'd around his waste and then a sleep sack. Now he just sleeps in pj's. It was getting too hot for all the layers.

Still swaddling at 4.5 months... terrified to stop. I guess I'm going to start doing one arm out and see how it goes. I tried the cold turkey thing and she screamed and screamed!

she self-weaned around 3.5 months old. I was so bummed, because that happened to be the same time she started sleeping in 2-3 hour blocks. and still is. not sure if it is because of losing the swaddle, crappy sleeper, or because she happened to have a cold and was waking often stuffed up - no idea!

it was kind of a blessing in disguise, in a way, because she was outgrowing the size small sleep sack (swaddle) so we would have had to lose it soon anyway.
