DD is nearly 8 months and I am still wrapping her for both naps and night sleeps. It's the only way she will sleep. With my boys they started rolling over onto their tummy in their wraps by about 4 or 5 months so I took them out of it. But dd has no intention of moving in the wrap and she very rarely tries to get out of it at all. Is she too old to be wrapped. Should I be weaning her out of it?? My only real concern is we use the miracle wrap and she is nearly to long for it so I either have to wean her out of it or find a replacement.
I wrapped my DD until she was 13 months old. I figured she would let me know when she didnt want it anymore. One night she tried busting out of it and this went on for a couple of nights. I was worried I wouldnt get her to sleep if I didn't wrap her. Anyway, I stopped wrapping her and she has been sleeping well ever since.
I didnt use any special wrap either....I just wrapped her in a light blanket...maybe try that?
DD was about the same age as Delph's DD when she wouldn't stay wrapped and would fight against it or wake up completely unwrapped. I had some of the 120x120 muslin wraps for her. She wasn't much of a roller and when she kept busting out we decided we'd go cold turkey and that was it. Mind you she is not a great sleeper, something happened around her 1st birthday and she has not slept through since then but thats another topic
I've had 3 different experiences - DD1 stopped at 3 mths, DD2 at 9 mths, and DD3 at about 14 mths. i don't think there's a rule saying that any age is too old, just what your baby needs.
I started using a single bed sheet instead of a wrap and then bought some stretchy muslin from Spotlight about 2m by 1.5m to wrap the older baby. I wish i could wrap her now as she may sleep better, but it's too late to go back! (she's 19mths).....
