Finally! The information we need! So many videos just jump to “swaddle with one arm out” like it’s no big deal. Our baby has been swaddled arm down for 4 months. It’s nice to finally have a solid game plan - so thank you!

this video has been great! My little one is an arms down swaddler and I've been trying to transition her but its always ended poorly, now I know why I was doing it all wrong! Tonight I will try the way you have suggested! and tbh it sounds so logical I am kicking myself for not thinking of it before :) fingers crossed we can get through the week

Hi! I'm just trying this now, rookie mistake, I just stuck one arm out and she wasn't having it lol. Have you had any luck with Rebecca's suggestions?

Rachel Ingram the first night was hard, she hardly slept, and I ended up sticking her arm back in at 3am and letting her sleep completely swaddled until morning. But then we tried again the next night and she was fine. I had great success with this method and by the end of the week she was transitioned to a sleeping bag. It took about 2 weeks for her sleep to return to normal. But it was so worth it!!

I have the Love to Dream swaddle and am trying to transition with no arms in. I am doing the one arm strategy and this is night two. They have been going to bed fine and sleeping for a while. But, like you said, one of my twins is waking up around 3:30 and wants his passy. After that it’s every hour he is waking up. In your opinion, should I continue giving his passy every hour or just let him CIO? How long usually should this transition take until they sleep through the night?

My baby is 3months and a week old. She has not started rolling over when unswaddled but I have seen her rolled to her tommy when swaddled. So is it time to take her out of the swaddle or should I wait until she rolls over when unseaddled?

You'll want to transition now so your child is sleeping safely.

Hi Rebecca, any suggestions on how to transition with a dummy, our little one keeps taking her dummy out with the one arm out so it unsettles her even more

Oh, that's tough. Could you pop another dummy in her hand so she already has something she's holding on to and won't be able to pull out the other.

Hi I have twins and now they are almost 10 mos but still we are swaddling them, we are trying to wean but they really cannot sleep well even 1 arm out. 😭

It can be so tough. Practice makes progress. The more time they have without being swaddled the easier it will get for them.

My baby is having sleep regression...is this a right time to stop swaddling? He is 4,5 months.

@ChildrensSleepConsultant 3 жыл бұрын

If he's beginning to roll you will need to work on stopping swaddling. If 's not quite beginning to roll I would wait a little.

Baby can roll over from tummy to back. Should we start doing this or wait until she can go back to tummy?

@ChildrensSleepConsultant Жыл бұрын

I would start doing this now. If you wait until she is rolling from her back to her tummy, you'll need to stop swaddling quite quickly. If you start now, you can take it nice and slow.

Baby is showing signs he doesn't want to be swaddled when i try 1 arm out he just shoves his fist in his mouth which keeps him awake because he starts gagging all night as he is teething. Any tips on how to make the transition any easier?
