We had to swaddle Jack as he would wake himself up cuz he would fidget too much! We had a swaddle blanket but he would easily get out of it, so just used a large thin sheet so he would not overheat
Like Cheryl's Jack, Ally breaks out of his special swaddling blanket. I kind of swaddle him with a cellular blanket...but it's more like tucking him in really tight!
I'm still swaddling brooklynn. I have been using a regular blanket but I did go to the fabric store this past week and got some flanelette and made some oversized lightweight blankets so she doesn't get too hot. Little thing is a bloody furnace I swear
My little girl didn't care for it too much at first. But a friend of mine got her into it again one day..lol. So now I swaddle her tighter and more frequently, she falls asleep faster.
Thanks everyone. Not sure whether to try swaddling Poppy. I think she likes her arms free but if I don't 'trap' them under the covers when I tuck her into her moses basket she tends to just wave them about for ages and doesn't go to sleep. Might have a go at swaddling her just in a normal blanket and see if she likes it. Anything to get her settled at night would be great!!
I swaddle Alex and it works really well most nights. Occasionally she has nights where she wants nothing more than to move her arms around. But in general I find it great. I just use some normal sheets, seems to do the trick.
I haven't been because she seems to hate it. She likes to wiggle around and she has no problems sleeping. I can't seem to get my blanket tight enough around her... I may try one of this swaddling blankets.
