Hi!
As title suggests my 6 month old DD is still swaddled to go to sleep. She works her arms out during the night and generally sleeps 7-5.30/6am ish with 1/2 wake ups for feeds and straight back down. Each time I put her back down I re swaddle her and she falls fast asleep.
Now if I don't swaddle and use a sleeping bag, her arms are everywhere!! She pulls out her dummy, scratches at herself, pulls her hair and generally messes and she can't fall asleep, ends up crying and I go up, put her dummy in, and cycle starts again! I tried scratch mits, she pulled them off. To actually get her to go asleep I was having to pin her arms down!! After a week of traumatising bedtimes I gave in and went back to the swaddle.
She doesn't roll yet, she can roll belly to back if doing tummy time but is yet to even try to roll back to belly, so I'm not panicking just yet, but it would be great to get her to sleep without it!
Any advice greatly appreciated!
