We used the woombie with LO until he got too big for it...then we moved to the Magic Sleep Suit. I thought the woombie was a godsend so I say go for it!!

We had the same problem as you fr a while. Te woombie was nice because it's thin and stretchy, so she could push her fist to the top and push it up to her mouth to suck on it through the fabric. It only worked for a short time but it sounds like it could help you. I never tried the swaddle strap.

I feel you though- there was a while there where she desperately wanted her hand to suck on, but would startle herself awake multiple times without being swaddled.

@Jennimac: We loved our swaddle strap! We recently transitioned to a zipadee zip when we swaddle weaned, but we definitely got our money's worth with the swaddle strap. The woombie was too hot for my LO and it seemed really uncomfortable and tight.

We ended up doing a swaddle strap with a halo sleep swaddle over the top. (LO was a serious houdini - she broke out of the miracle blanket and the swaddle strap when it was just by itself). If the woombie works for you, that's great solution. LO haaaated it - putting her in it was like having a sack full of angry weasels.
