I pop baby girl in hers just before the last feed then snuggle and in her next 2 me and she settles really well We also use the love to dream swaddle, she prefers them and you can get them cheep on vinted xx
My lad loves a swaddle, but the swaddle bag isn't good enough. He likes to chew his hands, which he can still access through the bag. So when we swaddle with muslins it's so much better and he drops off really well all by himself, like he just knows he can't get his hands.. He tends to sleep for 4 or 5 hours. I found a really useful YouTube swaddle video if you want it? Sometimes I use the swaddle bag for after the nighttime sometimes, but again he will only sleep for a few hours in that. X
I've started to use swaddles n we use the Anaïs and aden ones which have velcro on them in the right places which makes my life easier. He fusses to get in so I wait till he's drowsy then pop him in. It definitely helps with the startling x
