My lo is 7.5 months and still needs to be swaddled at night otherwise she wakes 10 or 20 mins after I put her down

UPDATE
so last night I told hubby I want to try to train her to sleep out of the wrap. I go to put her to bed and wrapped her up (bedtime routine) tried to put her to sleep but she was so restless and squirmy so I decided to try unwrapping her. as soon as I did she settled down and fell asleep! lol it was so funny I told hubby she must have heard what I said. she ended up sleeping all night

Oh wow, she's unique. Most kids grow out of it by 6 weeks. Must be a security/comfort for her now. I'm curious, what state do you find her in the morning?

I never swaddled my son. he was swaddled for maybe the first two weeks. But i do have to lay down with him at night. And either rub his head or back. Sometimes pat his bottom. He is spoiled rotten

I stopped swaddling Jack when he started rolling. i was nervous he'd get himself tangled up. it waa rough the first few nights then he was ok

@Mijita we have a wombie it zips up around her so she is in the same position in the morning. she hasn't tried to roll at all

My bf didn't let he swaddle Naliyah cause his mom told him that swaddling can mess up her arms and hands and she wouldn't be about to use them lol

I only swaddled for like the first month. She just started busting out of it so I gave up lol. Lmao I'm SO tempted to try it now. She'd probably throw a fit lol!! She's a crazy sleeper though, she's all over her crib at night.

@2ndbutfirst your ped said that its ok til 9 months? I always wonder if its ok I know my son was until about 6 months he kept busting out but I never had this wrap with him.
