This week has been a challenge. My homework has been to get Monroe to sleep outside of the swaddle... It's been harder than I thought. We slowly have worked from swaddle, to one arm out, to freedom. I though he'd love it, but all he wants to do is play with his hands and not nap. We've made progress though. He took two full naps yesterday and two half naps today. I think next time/baby I won't swaddle them as long. Any tips?
elle was swaddled FOR. SO. LONG! it took both of us at night, and we actually triple swaddled her... :) should i admit that? we started only swaddling at night... and that helped make the transition! good luck!! :)
ReplyDeleteThomas loved to be swaddled, except to have his arms free. Always free arms. He just ended the swaddling on his own. That is just how he does everything.
ReplyDeleteI totally swaddle Elizabeth and she busts her arms out. I should probably stop too, because she almost can't go to sleep without it......so glad you posted about this.
ReplyDeleteSwaddle them for as long as they want it...your baby will grow SO fast, so cherish these little moments!!! :)
