Swaddle? I don't need no stinkin' swaddle!

We are finally starting to phase out of our Baby Burrito stage. Micah so strongly needed to be swaddled that I thought we might still be wrapping him up in his teens, but since his sleep has started to become a bit more consistent last week I decided to give the no swaddle approach a try during his morning nap.




Here is how it went:

8:04- Put in Crib

8:08- fussing stops and he is out like a light!

8:35- Brief fussing

8:38- Back to sleep

8:45- Back awake

8:55- Mommy rockes but decides he is not going back to sleep at the moment and takes him out to play

9:25- Mommy decides the nap shouldn't have been over and he definitly needs more sleep!!

9:30- Micah in crib swaddled and sleeping soundly

11:00- Micah wakes up much happier!


I have decided we will try to do one unswaddled nap a day until he gets more comfortable with it and then hopefully we will be able to make a full transition into sleeping unswaddled and into all those super cute PJs!

have you tried swaddling with his arms out? that helped Levi transition... Aaron always preferred the no swaddle method. Kids are so different it's hilarious. Micah is adorable - I love his precious smiles!!!
