Wont stay swaddled
« on: January 15, 2013, 18:50:52 pm »
Not sure if this rite place to ask but my lo is 8 weeks on friday. I hav been swaddling him since he was born but now he seems to b getting out of the blankets during the nite when he wakes up and sometimes they are half covering his face. He still has a very strong moro reflex so stilll want to keep swaddling him but worried bout blankets been over his face. I use a cellular blanket the one with the hols to swaddle him any advice b great thanks.

Have you checked out a Woombie? They are great, super easy to put on and basically inescapable!! There is also another swaddle called a truewomb (sp?) that looks very similar but a bit more leg freedom. Hope this helps!

We use the Halo swaddle sleep sack for DD and it's wonderful.  We bought a heavier microfleece and lighter cotton one as the temperature fluctuates a lot in winter around here.  You can swaddle them with arms in or out depending on what your LO is in the mood for as well.

I used these as well :)  Awesome for weaning the swaddle too as you can do one arm in/one out... then loosen the swaddle a bit, then just wrap it around baby's chest for that snug feeling.. then loosen that a bit... then remove it and use the sack on it's own :)
