After noticing there are so many other swaddlers on here, I have a question for you all..
We swaddle DS cos his flailing arms wake him up regularly. But while DH is great at doing a really good tight swaddle, DS always escapes from mine - it is just too loose. So he always wakes up and needs reswaddling.
Any tips for getting a good tight swaddle? I use half a cotbed sheet, cut into a triangle, so it is a bit stretchy. I tried a Swaddleaze, but his arms were too flaily to be kept inside it.
Any help would be appreciated, as when he wakes himself with a poo at night, I dread changing him as I have to reswaddle!!
