    wrapping techniques wanted

    DD3 needs to be wrapped for sleep time. I've been using a sheet, which has worked fine, but now she can get out of it! I never had this problem with DD2, and she was being wrapped for sleep time until 8 months. So, what can I do, what products are out there for babies who need to be wrapped? A grobag won't work cause the arms are out.
    Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

    how are you wrapping her now?

    This is one that i tried: Lay the wrap down flat and then fold over 10cm at the top. Lay bub down and put their hands underneath this 10cm fold. Then fold their arms down (with hands enclosed in the fold) across their body one at a time. The folded bit meant it took my little one bit longer to get unwrapped.

    you might have already tried it.

    Yep, that's how I'm doing it. She somehow manages to wriggle out of it at the top! grrrrr.

    Woombie or ergococoon. I personally prefer ergocoocoon after our woombie had a zipper blow out! lol

    Hey Jodi, I have a woombie but DS can still get out of it so now I swaddle him then put him completely swaddled inside the woombie - no more escaping, works great for me.

    They're brilliant huh?
    Anelise is 13 months old and is still in her ergo cocoon every night. It's a lifesaver for little ones that like to be wrapped.
