We think you should try the Woombie or the Swaddle Up 50/50 because they can take you past that 3-month mark when your baby needs the “idea” of a swaddle, but also needs one he can’t break out of - and it allows your baby to make a more seamless transition to no swaddle at all. *Give Transitional swaddles a go if your baby is showing readiness around 3 months. Here’s our rough time table regarding your transition to no swaddling:Ĥ-6 Months + = Wearable Blankets or No Swaddle/Footed PJ’s A baby won’t totally outgrow the startle-reflex until around 6 months-old, so the closer you can get to that benchmark, the more seamless the transition will be to no swaddling at all. If you are able to wait until this sign occurs at around 4-6 months, the transition away from swaddling altogether is pretty immediate. One sign you should start transitioning away from the tight swaddles is when your baby, who has slept well while swaddled, all of a sudden wakes up multiple times at night, acting as if he is trying to find a more comfortable position to sleep in. #2 He’s suddenly waking up multiple times in the middle of the night. *We think the best night one – 4 month, tight swaddles are: the Summer Infant Swaddleme, the Halo Infant Sleepsack, and the Zen Swaddle. Between the ages of 2 and 3 months, a baby’s “moro” or startle-reflex is really too strong to give up the helpful, startle-soothing restriction of a tight swaddle, so the best time to start the stopping of the swaddling routine is right around the 4-6 month mark.
So try a different swaddle first, before going to a transitional swaddle. If your baby is breaking out of his swaddle between 2 and 4 months, it is most likely the fault of the swaddle itself. Is your baby a little escape artist? Some parents mistakenly think their babies are ready to transition out of a tight swaddle (a swaddle that holds their arms down by their sides) because they are escaping it, when in reality it’s simply a matter of the swaddle not doing a good enough job of staying on their baby. #1 He’s consistently “breaking out” of the swaddle. When should you stop swaddling your baby? If he’s nearly 4 months old and he’s showing one of these 3 signs:
