How did you stop swaddling?

[CremeDeSudo]

DD is 15wks and looking like she might start rolling soon so I'm thinking we need to stop swaddling before she does.

It is not going well!

Have tried just a sleeping bag, one arm out, the other arm out and am now trying to simply loosen it a bit. Still it's a painful process as she's flailing around or fighting her way out.

Any tips? How did you do it? Should I just go cold turkey and suck it up for a few nights? Help!!

Mine loved the swaddle, i bought a cheap swaddle sleeping bag from ebay that closed with velcro, she gradually wiggled her way out of it until she got used to sleeping without it

Well I tried loosening her swaddle for all sleeps for a couple of days and that didn't work as she kept waking herself up fighting out of it!

So last night I figured I'd just bite the bullet and put her in a sleeping bag - it was fine! Little bit more fussing when settling, but all in all it was a normal night! Hooray!

Next I need to tackle that dummy..

Dummy i did over Christmas, so much going on that she didn't notice it missing, though maybe helped that she didn't have it at bedtime, only for naps
