Opinion on swaddling baby

Omg! The pictures are crazy! He wiggles so much!!! Maybe try a sleep sack?

My little one used to sleep like that in his next to me all the time 🙃😂 maybe try to let him have his arms out or just switch to a sleeping bag. You can’t stop them from doing this unfortunately, they do the weirdest things in their sleep 😂

Or you can swaddle with his arms out

He’s quick too! I just moved him back posted his post and he was already back in the dang corner!! Do have any recommendations on a sleep sack?

I tried that for one of his naps and still wiggled over and just stuck his arm through the bars 🤦🏽‍♀️ in the one pics I just did the one arm and he still wiggled over

@Makayla we used a lightweight Halo sleep sack for the summer/warmer days and a thicker Burts Bees sleep sacks for these colder nights. I bought all of mine used and off Facebook marketplace. I really like the Burts Bees sack because the zipper is easier to use, especially in dim light.

I’m just terrified he’s gonna suffocate in the bassinet! He kept hitting his head on his crib bars yesterday

do you think it needs to me weighted?

No sleep for me! I’ve been up all night moving him from the corner! And when’s he’s not in the corner I’m still up paranoid he is suffocating!

maybe put him into his crib instead of the bassinet if you have space? They will hit their head, arms, legs and anything else off the bars. It can be worrying but honestly they are fine. They are just trying to figure out their own little bodies. It’s a pain because it’s worrying and it’ll wake you up but I promise it’s a phase and doesn’t last long! Just seems long at the time 😂

he’s only 7weeks idk if I’m ready for him to sleep in his room already 😭 lol

@Makayla if he is ready to sleep in his room, go for it. We transitioned my son to sleeping in his room at 6 weeks because he was ready for it. One day, I got frustrated with him and I put him in his crib for a nap, and he passed out. That gave me a clue that he was ready. That night, we put him in the crib and we never went back.

I’ve been having him take his naps in his room, but he’s still waking up through the night so I figured it’s still easier to keep him close in my room

My daughter did this all the way until 3 months, she hated being on her back and wanted to be on her stomach. She is now in a sleep sack and loves it. It was a hard transition

what kind of sleep sack do you use?

I don't use a weighted sleep sack because there are mixed reviews on using them from doctors and other professionals. Some people swear by them, but I err on the side of caution.

I know not everyone will agree with me but my little guy loves to sleep on his stomach and has done that since about 1-2 weeks old. We co-sleep and use the bedside crib so he's always really close me and I'm such a light sleeper. If you have room to bring your crib to your bedroom you could drop the front rails and make a bedside crib too. It's super easy and gives baby space and you leave of mind.

We use halo, kyte, swaddle designs
