Swaddling for 10 week old

12 replies

Taler · 17/01/2014 23:34

It seems most swaddled only go up to 3 months.

I really want to find a good one that I can continue to use for my 10 week old.

As much as I like the ease and convenience of the gro bags, the swaddling is the only thing that keeps her calm at night. Ie no fidgets and/or grunting.

Can anyone recommend one please?

I was the same and after a while no swaddle blanket fit him, so all I do is use a sleeping bag but zip his arms inside, it effectively does the same thing and has worked (still stopped the startle reflex).

I do the same, I use a grow bag and zip his arms inside. I am still doing this at almost 5 months. In fact he gets excited when he sees his sleeping bag! It stops him flailing himself awake!

Good thinking ladies :)

Mine flails his legs. I mean straight in the air, it's not gas pumping just like stretching his tippy toes out. Keeps him awake though

Ergococcoon do zip up swaddles to a year - you can find them on Amazon

Seconding Ergococoons... they're brilliant. Our 5m ds still has loads of room in his.

I used a Woombie with my DD until she was around 5 months - they do them in a large size for older babies - sell them on Amazon. It was a life saver!

I used swaddle me as dc hated the zip ups as they can move arms around in it which was disturbing dc sleep. These have velcro to stop it slipping but dc still managed to break out of every swaddle before no longer needing it at 4mths

Tried putting her arms in her sleep bag but they found their way out within minutes!!

Will look into these other ones that've been suggested.

Thanks

Look up double swaddle on you tube.
You just use an ordinary blanket my ds is 8 months and will still only sleep swaddled like this.

Another vote for woombie. I bought mine last week for 8 week old, we are both sleeping so much better and he is finally settling on his own!

I went for the 'big baby size'. My boy is a chunky 12lb but loads of growing room left in the woombie.

I hear they do a 'Houdini' version which I might need to get as he gets bigger/stronger!

I was thinking I'd go for this one: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B003OQTPHG/ref=aw_d_dsc_baby?qid=1390198398&sr=8-5&vs=1
but will it be warm enough for the winter? It doesn't say what it's made from
