Title: Don't know what to do about swaddle...help!
Post by: mommynow on October 11, 2005, 19:01:24 pm

My daughter is swaddled in the miracle wrap because she flails her arms and can't settle.  However for over a month she gets free.  It wasn't waking her though so we kept doing it because she needed it initially to settle.  Now after a couple hours into the night she keeps rolling over though onto her stomach and she starts to scream because her arms are straight down and she can't move.  Everytime we try with one or more arms out she won't settle to go to sleep.

Have you tried the Aussie swaddle? Directions are at the top of this forum. If you use a huge, thin piece of fabric like a bedsheet cut in half, it's really hard to get out of. It's tricky to master and takes some practice, but it works like a charm for little Houdinis!
