Moro reflex

Mine is 14 weeks and still does this reflex quite a lot. Doesn't like being swaddled either xxx

Have you tried with just one arm out? That’s how I started, and with his left arm, which he uses less than the right one, seemed it would be safer that way 😅 had 3-4 nights like that and then both out. But his reflex is almost gone, so not sure if it’s any help

We’ve never swaddled my little one. The moment he goes down in his next to me, his arms slowly rise to either side of his head so when sleeping there it isn’t a problem.
He very much startles when sleeping in his pram though. I find when on the move it doesn’t wake him, only when the pram is stationary!
He’s 14 weeks and I had expected it to have gone by now. X

Yes ours is, I’ve read it should have gone by 6 months.

we tried one arm out for a week, and she did sleep but not amazingly like she normally does when swaddled, we’ve tried 2 arms tonight and as soon as she hits the crib her arms are flying :(

do you still use a swaddle?

I never did, we’ve always used a blanket or tog bag

Yeah my baby still has hers

I could have written this post !
My LO is 4 months next Tuesday and we have to do contact naps in the day and he still has to be swaddled at night.
I have read about the transition with one arm thing but I'm anxious to try it as he still wakes up multiple times a night as it is and I need my sleep 🙈

aww my baby is 4 months on tuesday too! Honestly it’s a nightmare, I feel like I need to get her out the swaddle but she just doesn’t sleep properly without it!! Daytime she will nap in the pushchair or in her swing but I can’t move her to the crib unless she’s swaddled and she will only nap for about half an hour 😒 I’ve ordered a love to dream transition swaddle because I’ve heard a lot of people recommend them so I’ll give that a go, I have swaddles coming out my ears 🤣🤣🤣

Oh let me know how you get on with the transition swaddle!! My LO isn't showing signs of rolling yet so I have a few weeks so I'd be interested to see how you get on!
