Different babies do prefer different swaddles, so you may need to find the one that works best for your baby. Type of Swaddle - I highly recommend using swaddles that velcro (Use code takingcarababies) or zip to make safe swaddling easier.
Be sure your baby is in the correct size for their height and weight and that you swaddle snugly. This can make it easier for them to break out of the swaddle. Growth - Keep in mind, as babies get older, they grow bigger and stronger. You can help avoid overtiredness by watching your baby’s sleepy cues and wake windows.
Overtiredness - Your baby may also fight the swaddle or break out of the swaddle when they’re overtired. Be sure that the swaddle you are using is following the guidelines for swaddle safety. Let’s talk about those reasons and how to help keep your baby swaddled safely:Īctive Sleep - You may see your baby break out of the swaddle during very active sleep (which is a normal part of newborn sleep!). However, there are other times we see babies break out of swaddles that have nothing to do with rolling. If your baby breaks out of the swaddle and is showing signs of rolling, this does mean it’s time to stop swaddling. It depends! Breaking out of the swaddle can happen for different reasons. Does this mean I should stop swaddling? # anchor
