My little boy is 7 weeks now and has been in a really good sleep routine of 4 hourly. I have swaddled him (as I did my daughter) since day one and he go in his bed awake and fall asleep on his own. Tonight we tried him in a sleep bag (mainly because we have bought one and not used it yet) and it has been a total disaster!!!
I fed him, put him down as usual and he has spent the last 90 minutes crying and very very unsettled. I have just gone up and swaddled him (not even given him a bottle or cuddled him etc) and he is now lay very quietly in his bed, falling asleep by himself again.
How on earth do you move from swaddling to sleep bags without this real unsettled stage? Is there a sleep bag that has a swaddling effect?
