    My 6 mo is always wrapped when going to sleep. I find that she has a more relaxed and deep sleep so i continue to do it. If i dont wrap her she wakes within half an hour or so or at night she will wake up because she has woken herself by taking her dummy out or smacking herself in the head.
    Sooo I really need some advice I wrap her so tight so she cant move and she is waking 2 or 3 times a night because she has some how gotten herself out.
    I have no idea how she does it as its so tight and she gets herself out all the time. How do I stop this from happening?
    She used to sleep through the night fine cause she couldnt get out but now holy moly its shocking!!
    So I am thinking ductape is not the way to go

    Have u tried using a cot sheet? They may be a bit bigger than a standard wrap so harder to get out of?

    When we wrapped DD she was the same. We used a double wrap. The first wrap we would wrap over each arm and then underneath her body - if that makes sense. Then the top wrap we would wrap as normal. No escaping then!

    I have a friend who has these wraps for her twins, I don't remember what they are called, but their arms are wrapped separate to their body so it's hard for them to wriggle out, kinda like a straitjacket I guess!

    DD always squiggles her arms out of her wrap, so I just leave her arms out now, she is pretty easy going though and doesn't wake herself up, I think she just likes to rub her eyes while she falls asleep, and then spends the rest of the night with her arms above her head like she is on a set of monkey bars! Lol
