Wrapping baby...how long did you do it for??

Thanks bj, let me know if you notice a difference.

We started leaving his arms free around 6 weeks, and stopped wrapping completely before 3 months. He slept much better without the wrapping.

We're still wrapping Emily. During the day she can sleep unwrapped, but at night she won't sleep unless she's wrapped. I had tried this week to unwrap her at night, but she woke about a dozen times during the night, so I've gone back to wrapping her.

Still wrapping here! lol. We've tried unwrapping, but it just results in the dummy being pulled out and lost, she just goes off to sleep if I wrap her She does work herself out of it by morning, so can sleep unwrapped. Will wean her off it once it gets warmer.

DS was wrapped until about 8 months.

We stopped wrapping a week ago (DS was 15 weeks). DS always got his arms out regardless and a few weeks ago, he started wriggling and would end up at one side of the cot or up the other end! So, now he has been in a sleeping bag for the past week, that way I know if the blankies come off, he is still warm enough. Seems to be working as he is sleeping for longer overnight now so I'm sticking with it

my DD2 wanted to be wrapped untill she was around 5 months old, in the end I just began wrapping her a little looser each time and eventually she got use to not having it, I am thinking your DS probably wants to start sleeping without being wrapped but he may not like it straight off as he is not use to it, maybe give it a go next sleep time and see how he goes, otherwise if he doesnt like it start doing it gradually and he will get use to it.

good luck with it all, he is such a cutie

Thanks everyone. Still unsure what I am going to do...and I better decide soon as he goes to bed in about an hour or so, LOL. I might try putting him to bed with arms out of the wrap and see how he goes tonight, I suppose I could always wrap him if he keeps waking up.

Thanks elle....yes he is a cutie, LOL....and cheeky already.

DD1 was a fussy bub and hated being wrapped stopped around 8 weeks...the same time she began sleeping through!

DD2 was wrapped til about 15 weeks old....

DD was wrapped til 10 weeks then went into a sleepingbag

We stopped wrapping Claire when she was about 5 months old. She started to want to sleep with her arms out and her legs spread out around that time and would squirm her way out of a wrap and cry till we got the wrap off her.

I am ashamed to admit that Ela, who is now 13 months old still sleeps with her arms wrapped.

We lightly wrap her arm when she has her bottle before bed and then we unwrap her when we settle her in her cot. She does not sleep if we don't wrap her. I guess by summer she should be out of it
