...can you do it when they are awake or have just dropped off, or do you have to do it when they're deeply asleep? We've been swaddling DS since he was one week old, but last night was fairly typical - got him swaddled and down at 11, then he woke up at 2, at 3.30 he was asleep but it took 3 goes and half an hour to get him swaddled without him waking up and trying to fight his way out. 50 min later he was awake and I took him into bed for the rest of the night. I wondered if this was typical, or what else I could do to help him to sleep in his crib. I don't want to co-sleep all night as it's not massively comfortable and I'd like to go back to sharing a bed with DH at some point!
