When to unswaddle

[Chloevalentine]

Tried the zippy tonight with no luck. He was going crazy chewing the fabric and his hands keeping him awake. Had to go in and change the swaddle blanket lol! I'm having a hard time finding a swaddle that's big enough for him because he's a large baby. What age do they recommend unswaddling? Id better keep looking for a bigger one.

It can take a few days if not more than a week for them to get used to it. It's certainly not a magic fix. Although I wish it was.

I actually bought a fleece swaddle me in size large as my 3 mo lo is near 18lbs! And it's too small he's managing to get out and it still wakes him up! I'm out of options! Lol

I second the zippy but it does take a little while for them to get used to it. My 5 month lo started using one about a month ago and loves it but before that was in a love to dream Aussie swaddle which allows him to have his arms up. He could get his hand on his mouth but it still helped with the jolts and it helped with the transition to the zippy.

I'm just managing to barely keep him swaddled in this small one until he starts rolling then ill switch to the zippy and he's still sleeping in crib next to my bed. He's teething which is why he's trying so hard to get to those hands.
