When did you stop swaddling

At what age did you stop swaddling, using the miracle blanket or swaddle me blankets?
TIA!

Around 4 months. We swaddled with 1 arm out for a few days to transition. He slept totally fine, and maybe better, once we switched to sleep sacks at that age.

Re: When did you stop swaddling

something like 8 months adjusted age, which was 10.5 actual. It was outrageous. The twins just would not sleep if they were not swaddled!!!

Re: When did you stop swaddling

we just stopped last weekend, so when DD was about 12 weeks.

we tried doing it at 6 weeks, but DD's morrow reflex was too strong, and kept causing her to wake up in the middle of the night!

We stopped swaddling my older DD at 5 mos (my younger DD never needed it!). The ped had told me that it wasn't great for her motor development at that point, so that's when we stopped.

Re: When did you stop swaddling

We started with one arm out at 3-months-old. A few weeks later we took the other arm out. Now at 4 1/2 months she is swaddle free and doing great.

7, maybe 8 mos? It was becoming a nuisance to have to swaddle him for naps while we were out! And DS is in the 75th %, just too big!

With DD we didn't swaddle for more than a few weeks. She hated it!

DS on the otherhand loved being swaddled and it was pretty much the ONLY way we could get him to sleep. We finally stopped around 8 months or so..and not a moment too soon. We kept joking we were going to have to start using our bed sheets to swaddle him Chat Icon. Those things were snug on him at the end!

Re: When did you stop swaddling

4 mo. We moved them to their cribs at 3.5 and used the halo fleece swaddle. Then we just put the wings around them at 4 mo when they had rolled a few times while on their playmate. I didnt want them to roll swaddle at night. They still don't roll consistently. Twin 2 started yelling at me when I swaddled too. She would say "K-K" . We joke that she just couldn't say the fff sound and was trying to say "f**k" Chat Icon

This is exactly what we did.. 1 arm for 3 days, then just swaddled their body for 3 days and then we got rid of it. We tried it at 3 mos... didn't work at all.. then again at 4 mos and we were good to go!
