swaddling has been a godsend for us lol. if not for it we'd be waking up literally every hour. though now we have to set a timer to feed the baby every 3 hours overnight, but it's worked out better for us. Baby is still just over 1 week old

What kind of Muslim swaddle works in winter?

Also I’m 32 and I sleep better when I tuck myself in hahaha and when my husband can’t sleep, I tuck him in the blankets and he falls asleep right away so I can understand why babies will find this soothing ❤

I took a baby care class and they mentioned that you shouldn't swaddle at night for safety reasons so I'm just not sure.

Thanks but am I supposed to know what the 5 Ss are? Why not list them? Also, you keep saying there are tons of types of swaddles. I’m pregnant with my first and I have no idea what these could be. Why not show pictures and examples? And what about sleeping sacs?

Very helpful video! I highly recommend this sleep training program—worked wonders for our first baby when I had no idea what I was doing!

I'm unable to receive a free newborn schedule mail as linked in the description, I have checked my spam folder as well.

I swaddle my baby everyday since she was born until now that she is 4 months but when I don't swaddle her she wakes up a lot what should I do

I feel like an idiot... My 17 week baby has been swaddled and I feel that I have completely postponed his development. I didn't realize that's what he needed. Thanks for the video... 😭

Is it ok to swaddle if newborn is rolling onto side and likes to sleep on their side?

[SandyandKyle]

My 18 week old still startles often, so much that he wakes up and cries. The only thing helping is being swaddled, but I know he doesn’t want to be in it anymore. I’m hoping I can start sleep training soon, do you have any tips for me?

What if my baby loves to have his arms up around his face and doesnt like his arms swaddles ?

[christiannalewis]

Is there an ideal time between 8 and 12 weeks? My baby is almost 9 weeks and she was born a week late. She busts out of her swaddle at every single nap, then I reswaddle and she falls asleep. Should I be starting to get her transitioned out or wait a couple weeks?

Is it too late to swaddle a baby from week 6?

[lovesomeone]

Never swaddled my child and she was fine

What are your thoughts on the embé swaddles?

[Veronica-dicj]

Are traditional swaddles (with a muslin swaddle blanket) considered safe?

[dimpleadalja]

Can I swaddle my baby in hot weather with short sleeves bodysuit on? she will have bear legs with the bodysuit ?

[kyciarelli]

My newborn genuinely hates being swaddled 😂 He sleeps so well when he just has a blanket tucked under him from the waist down! Plus he’s 2 weeks old and already rolling onto his side like crazy!
