When do they grow out this???

Swaddling is a great way to control this but annoyingly- and I've no idea why - after the middle of the night feed my 9 week old DD hates being swaddled so we use a gro bag, (which personally we prefer as its easier to use plus you don't have to worry if too warm/not warm enough as its the right tog for this time of year). The only trouble with the gro bag is it leaves her arms free and this really disturbs her.

Any help/suggestions??

I really dont know - I swaddled dd til 5mo. How does she react if you try and re swaddle her after her night time feed?

We had flappy hands hitting DD in the face when she was tiny. Swaddled her until she learnt to roll over at 4.5 months. Then we switched to a sleeping bag and she was fine. Hang in there!
