Anyone's baby sleep better NOT swaddled?
DH noticed that DD was really struggling to get her hands/arms out of the swaddle last night so I swaddled her from the waist down and she slept like a rock star, up only to eat and then right back to sleep.
DS would only sleep tightly swaddled so this is new to me.
I need to take my own advice - every baby really IS different!

Re: Anyone's baby sleep better NOT swaddled?
DD hated having her arms swaddled so we would swaddle her with her arms out...but that didn't even last long bc she decided she didn't like her body swaddled a few weeks later...

John never liked being swaddled with his arms in. His arms need to be free.

Re: Anyone's baby sleep better NOT swaddled?
I never thought of swaddling from the arms down...I wonder if that would work for Xav. He screams bloody murder when I swaddle him so I gave up.

I was seriously considering sleeping her on her belly soon, because she was having so much trouble staying asleep. I am getting 3-3.5 hour stretches now which I think is good for 9 days old  5 hours at Jessie's age is awesome!!

She seemed to like it - she has some gas issues so I think the slight pressure on her tummy helped.

i prayed for 9 months for a sleeper in order to keep my marriage happy this time...and josh not get beat . josh was a nightmare from day 1.
she is 4 weeks and i keep waiting for a bad night and it just doesn't happen. when she wakes at 5 hour mark, eats for 10 minutes...change and right back down. i don't wanna have a fave out of the 2, but josh is loosing quickly.

My daughter was never a fan of the swaddle. She was wiggly and liked having access to her arms/hands.

Re: Anyone's baby sleep better NOT swaddled?
Phia didn't like to be swaddled so we didn't use it. Then one day I came on here and someone said that they started swaddling late- at around 6 weeks. I gave it a shot and she took to it. She's been swaddled since.

The swaddling didn't last long in my house. DD didn't really dig it.

Re: Anyone's baby sleep better NOT swaddled?
Sienna is back and forth with the swaddle. I have to keep her arms out though. She likes to sleep like her mom-with the arms over her head.
