Sleep without a swaddle

Any tips on transitioning baby to sleep without a swaddle? We currently use the love to dream swaddles, & baby is starting to roll on his side. We can’t use the transitional swaddles from love to dream yet, as he’s too small! (He’s nearly 11lb) We tried last night without the swaddle & just a cellular blanket and he kept waking himself up because his arms were out and he was waving them!

We just used a sleep sack and did cold turkey. I’d say the first night he was slightly unsettled and woke up a couple times but by day 2 and 3 he was absolutely fine and continued to sleep through well. My friend did have an issue so used the tommee tippee swaddles as they have poppers on so can remove one arm at a time and worked well for her. One arm for a week and the next week did the other ☺️

We use sleep sacks now, first night would put him into his pjs & sleep sake and rock him whilst holding him tighter so he had the sensation of being swaddled. Then after about 10-15 when he was in a deep sleep transferred into his next to me, and didn’t have any issues at all xx

We use the tommee tippee grobag and LO sleeps so well in it 😊

Sleep sack is what I use and have done since baby was 2 weeks old He was 7lb when born

This is the exact same as us! We've went from 9 hours a night and last night was the first time we used a sleeping bag and he was up all night x
