Tips for getting baby to sleep without swaddle
Show your support
have you thought about getting her a sleep sack? my doctor recommended that for me but i literally start putting my baby on his tummy to sleep and he loves it better than his back. sometimes i am worried so i watch him a lot while he naps. but he does good and we’re also on the 3 months now
Start with naps! I also did the one arm free with my first and worked well. I lucked up with this kid and she went from love to dream to a sleep sack without any issues. But my first was very difficult 😅
There’s the zipadee zip. We’ve started using it at night. So far so good. My baby is also 3 months and starting to roll.
I use sleep sacks that are similar to kyte but way cheaper on amazon. We cut the swaddle cold turkey. It was a rough few nights. We also determined that he was hitting his arms against the side of the bassinet also waking up bc his arms were now free. We transitioned to his crib a few days ago and so far so good. He is 15 weeks tomorrow. However keep in mind he has been sleeping through the night (idk how!!) for 4 weeks and he likes his crib.
@Lauren yes she currently uses the love to dream swaddle, i got the transitional one, but the second her hands r free she's touching her face a lot and it wakes her. I guess I have to try to transition her more slowly!
@Myah B we've tried sleep sacks but the issue is with her hands being free so the sack isn't enough to hold her in
Going thru it too. We’re using the Merlin suit. It worked wonders for two days but his startle reflex is still there and wakes him up. The Merlin does limit his hands touching his face though. His sleep is a mess. He loves being held. We’re going to try zipadee.
Also belly to back isn’t dangerous for sleep
We do a sleep sack with one arm in and one arm out
Hi! There are some transitions swaddles! You would have to release one arm for a few days , then the other one and then both… for some takes days for other way less
