how do i get my 3month old to sleep without a bottle in his mouth and swaddled.

My son will be 14 weeks soon and he has to fall asleep swaddled with a bottle in his mouth. HE WILL NOT take a Binky. Hasn't since he was born. How do I wing him off of everything..

Does he nap during the day with it? Maybe try cutting it out of day time to start with. When its time for a nap, try walking, bouncing, maybe even a quick car ride. Once you've done days, then maybe start doing nights as well. I don't think it'll be an easy task, no matter when or how ya do it mama.
Good luck.

I swaddle mydaughter still and she us 4 months, its a comfort thing for her. I'm pretty sure its like a security thing I mean they are I'm a tight area for a long time so it'll probably take a while for them to get used to it. I do it a little less tight every night.

Not sure about the bottle thing, maybe try just a warm bath I use the lavender soap it works wonders then just rock him to sleep. Its gonna take a while for him to get used to not having a bottle but eventually he'll get used to it.

My baby hates to be swaddled as soon as he came out of my belly he wanted his hands and feet to move freely. He's only 3 weeks
