I'm due in June and wondering if I should buy swaddles for my baby, or will it be too warm for swaddling? I'm also not sure if my baby will even like being swaddled.

What are you all planning to do?

You could swaddle with just a muslin if it’s warm? My baby never enjoyed it and to be honest I felt better with his arms and legs free to move at will and if his reflexes woke him up I didn’t mind!

Just swaddle with a sheet. They pretty much all love it, at the beginning at least.

I never swaddled, used a cellular blanket at the start and then a sleeping bag, mine didn't like to be restricted x

We used the Love to Dream swaddles which worked well for us in summer. The 0.2 tog ones can be used up to 27 or 28 degrees and DD slept well in them. Tommee Tippee make a lightweight one too with arms in rather than arms up.

Thanks xx
any recommendations for swaddles? I am in dilemma between Tommie tippie one and the love to dream swaddles.

I swaddled with a sheet with May / June babies. One of them was massive so I needed to use an actual single bedsheet folded over.
