when to stop swaddling?

[whattoexpect]

My DS is small; 11 weeks old and about 10lbs. I've read that I should stop swaddling when a baby gets active; and then I read that a baby can be swaddled for months. My DS likes to kick his legs around and if I just put him under a blanket etc, then it will come off. I swaddle him for comfort, ie. not all the time. But is he too old now?

i swaddled my ds until he moved from the cot to the bed at 15 months. as he got older he did move and the blankets came undone but i just wrapped them gently back up again. it really helped him get off to sleep.

Am still swaddling my DD at 6mths, otherwise like you she'd wriggle out of everything and she settles down well with it.

My dd2 is 5 months and just doesn't seem to settle if she isn't swaddled. I have no idea how we are going to stop!

I think at 11wks I was still swaddling DD but left her arms free iyswim.

Whn she got to about 5mths I switched her to a sleeping bag

I swaddled my DD until she was 6 months. She settled really well and I thought I would never get her out of it but I discovered a peke moe and it was fantastic.
It really worked for a swaddle addicted baby.

Beckie, just looking at those as think we will have to move from swaddling soon, did you have to order them from new zealand?
