Over the last week or so I have been trying to wean DS from wrapping. He worked out how to roll onto his belly last week so has started doing it in bed. When he is wrapped he gets stuck and can't prop himself up.

So I decided the time had come to stop wrapping. I did try about 6 weeks ago but decided he wasn't ready. I did the weaning process (albeit quite quickly) and yesterday and today he has had his naps without being wrapped (I still wrapped him overnight cos I didn't want to disturb that sleep). The problem is it takes a long, long time to get him to settle. I'll go through the normal routine give him a cuddle and sing to him and then put him down when he's nuzzling, but as soon as I put him down he can't stop wriggling (normally he self settles and goes off to sleep reasonably quickly). Eventually he gets grizzly and upset and literally falls asleep out of exhaustion mid grizzle. This means I am having to rock the cot etc to keep him calm until he goes to sleep and I'm worried about it becoming a habit...

He is waking up after about 25 minutes of sleep. Today I rocked him back to sleep and when I put him down I noticed that he still has startle reflex. It didn't quite wake him up, but I had to rock the cot to keep him soothed. He did sleep for 45 minutes after that (he was pretty exhausted).

So I'm wondering if he is ready not to be wrapped, or is this all part and parcel of him getting used to not being wrapped?

Any advice anyone has would be great cos I don't know what to do now...
