Since day one, we have only swaddled our baby at night. We did this hoping it would help her from getting her nights and days confused, and I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence or not but she has literally slept through the night since day one.
I have been weaning her from the swaddle and she is now in a sleep sack arms out. She sleeps so well and through the night, but during the day she will only take contact naps. If I lay her down, she’ll wake up after a few minutes.
Does anyone know if using a sleep sack during the day will make a difference either way?

For mine at least, yes, we typically use a swaddle sack with her (arms in still) during the day for longer stretch naps. Otherwise whatever body movement reflexes will wake her up and she gets super ornery without one good nap during the day.
