My 3 week old is too strong for a swaddle but too new for arms out. Thoughts?
I have tried blanket swaddle, Velcro, zipper, love to dream, etc. She busts out of all of them and gets her arms caught up by her face, waking her up naturally. My first born was the same way. I did arms out sleep sack last night and she had the roughest night, translating to me too. I’m not sure what else to do given that pesky Moro reflex is around for awhile still.
Agreed - our second boy loved to wiggle his arms out; just had to figure out a good approach to wrapping the arm first and then wrapping that side over the body.
Nothing is fool proof, but it will generally hold for a nap or the next dirty diaper :)
