Swaddle blankets 6-9 months

[MrsC10]

I'm looking for swaddle blankets for age 6-9 months but can't seem to find any.

My LO is now 16lbs and she'll soon be out of the swaddled we have. She enjoys being swaddled and can't sleep without being swaddled. Her arms and legs wave all across the place and keep her awake.

Anyone any suggestions on where to get bigger swaddles?

I never found bigger swaddled for my swaddle addict, plus at that age he could break out of all of them.

Genuinely was amazing for us! I don't know if you are UK or not but they are sold here too. No one in my house would have slept without a zippy!

At around six months, I had to start doing the "super swaddle" because the blankets were too small and my baby kept breaking out. It uses two blankets instead of one. Go to YouTube and watch a video, if you're interested!

I thought it was dangerous to swaddle after a certAin age? Is that why you're having trouble?

I thought the same, and you switch to the sleeping bags because once they can rollover if you swaddle them they can get stuck on their tummy?

Thanks. These look like the answer to my prayers! I'll have a look. I live in Scotland so will have a look at some UK sites

I've done a good bit of research on this and some parents have swaddled up until almost 1 year old. If I took her out a swaddle now, I wouldn't get a wink of sleep!

My DS1 was swaddled until 10 months. DS2 was out of a swaddle by 3 months. All babies are so different and so are their needs. Some babies definitely need to be swaddled longer than others

For DS1, we ended up continuing to use the halo sleepsack swaddles.

Once he got too big for it, we put his arms inside of the arm holes and continued to wrap the swaddle part around the top so his arms wouldn't/couldn't bust it open. We then cut open the bottom of the sleepsack part when he got too long for it and he didn't mind having his feet out. It was mainly the arms that bothered him.

Oh!! I forgot to mention, with DS2 we used merlin's magic sleepsuit to transition him out of the swaddle. It is a bit silly (looks like a snowsuit), but works amazingly well. The extra weight of the suit prevents the startle reflex from waking him and makes him feel cozy.

They are honestly amazing, I bought mine from usa (they didn't sell them uk back when I needed them) so big gamble cost wise but saved our sanity! Safe for them to roll around in, keeps hands warm etc! I'm using one right now for new baby, he doesn't need swaddling at all but I just love them and it's nice to re-use them as I have multiple in all sizes!
