We changed it cold turkey, to the hands free swaddle. The first 3 nights weren’t great but he got adjusted to it. He now usually cries once or twice at night when he rolls on his belly and doesn’t want to stay there so we go and turn him. Sometimes he decides sleeping on his belly is fine lol Just hang in there
Im struggling with the transition, even with a transition swaddle up bag. So now I got our LG a baby magic merlin sleepsuit. It's expensive but so far has worked really well.
I found using a sleeping bag with long arms made the transition easier for my eldest x
We just started transitioning my baby from being wrapped like a burrito to a proper sleeping bag 😆. Try swaddling your baby but leave one arm for the next couple of days. If he slept through the night, try swaddling him for the next couple of days again but this time leave both arms unwrapped. If baby is fine, try again on his sleeping bag. I hope that helps xxx
