DS2 is 9 months old and has pretty much only ever fallen asleep and stayed asleep if both of his arms are swaddled. Now he's getting bigger he can wriggle out of the swaddle which means that when he stirs in the night he won't resettle.
We've been cuddling, reswaddling and occasionally giving him a few ounces to get him back to sleep but it's starting to get a wee bit silly and he'll have wriggled free and be thrashing and waving his arms before we've even left the room.
Any hints and tips on how to adjust to non-swaddling?
Do we just leave him to cry/ thrash about until he wears himself out?
Should we just keep swaddling him?
TIA
