To swaddle or to not swaddle

Can you get one of those swaddle sacks with arms out? Halo has some I think

I have one but he gets so fussy with his arms out it’s literally so crazy….like I’ll try to rock him and he’ll just be fussing then I’ll swaddle him and he’ll be alil fussy still but he’ll go to sleep….

I think he just has to adjust. Keep in that kind for his naps and night time sleep. Shouldn’t take long. If he is only around 3 months, it’s better to have arms out I think.

I’m at the point where my little girl can flip onto her tummy, but can’t flip back. Just you wait for that to happen. Feel your pain right now

Okay okay so just keep rocking him until he exhausts hisself?? Cause this little boy will fuss! lol

Please let it be soon I just started getting my sleep back lol

What I do is swaddle with a blanket and just rock till asleep on my pillow and once fully asleep I take her fo sleep without the blanket of course

Yea I gave that I’m up after first month . My 3 month old loves to sleep with her arms up by her ears lol

Our boy loved his swaddles too. We made the switch to sleep sacks and sleep suits around 3 months old because we were worried about him rolling. We really like baby Merlin's magic sleep suit.

okay Thank you I’ll look them up! How did you do with rocking him to sleep….this may sound weird but like I don’t know how to hold him without the swaddle lol like his arms are out and he doesn’t seem to care for the cradle hold when his arms are out…..or maybe I just have to be more patient with the fussing until he calms down…idk man lol it’s a struggle

we just made the transition to arms out a few weeks ago and it was not easy but went pretty smoothly with the amazing baby transition swaddle. It’s cheaper than some of the other transition ones. We did one arm out for naps only for a few days, then one arm out naps and night, then both arms out naps, then both arms out for everything. Took maybe 1.5 weeks total.

For rocking, I hold her towards me, one arm down, one up towards my face, paci in mouth. I don’t rock her to sleep though, I put her down drowsy but awake

okay okay!!! So I’ll try that one arm out! We have a swaddle that you can wrap with the arms out but it’s not like that cactus 🌵 arms (I like to call it lol) it’s holds the arms down by their sides so I’ll have to get one of those then! Thank you so much for sending the link!! 🙏🙌🙌 IG I can save some money and get a deal I truly appreciate it! Babies aren’t cheap lawd!

Definitely time to get rid of the swaddles😢 have you tried a sleep sack? I’m gonna be in the same boat, my baby hasn’t rolled yet but I’m trying to start getting her adjusted to napping without being swaddled and she won’t stay asleep for more than 10 minutes. It’s nottt fun 😂

not yet but I see I’m going to have to lol today I tried the swaddle with one arm out…needless to say it was a struggle! He kept waking up because of that one arm moving around lol omg!! Well I’m sending strong vibes your way because I see this is gonna be a tough one for us over here!! I hope your baby handles the transition better 💕💕
