glad you tried swaddling her. it makes such a difference!! it's truly a god send 😀

Awww yay! :)

Good news. She survived the night 😂 she slept so soundly. Thanks y'all for your help and input. @ciaramarie @bentleysmomma @crazytoast @firsttimegypsymama @harranmommy @jdownin0511 @jessicarose0602

I have used the Velcro swaddle on both of my babies. They slept better in them, all night. Lifesavers!! Be careful when u wash them, the Velcro has to be closed or it will ruin other clothes

I swaddled both my kids with the swaddle blanket the hospital fave me. It zipped then you put their arms down and swaddle it and it would Velcro. It's hard as a mom (especially first time) always fearing you will do something wrong. Just relax. (; I think most Drs actually recommend newborns to be swaddled since it can reduce risk for SIDS

I have! and by the time I get up to feed her she normally has her arms wiggled out of it lol.

I use one every night. My LO hates being swaddled but the nurses told me there's a smaller chance of sids if he's swaddled so I do it anyway (-:

@jessicarose0602, thanks, that gives me some peace of mind. Lol. My daughter is 8 1/2 lbs so the Velcro is right on track with what you did. I guess I am just paranoid I put her in there too tightly lol

yep I did this with my daughter and she was perfectly fine. helped her sleep for longer periods of time. then again I have a snuza monitor that clips to her diaper when she sleeps so that gives me reassurance too. but I used the pods that zipped until she was about 8 lbs, then the velcro ones.

Awww I have a lot of those swaddled things but haven't gotten to use them yet because Grayson hasn't decided to come out and see us yet lol

@crazytoast, and he's perfectly fine in it all night? I have no reason to be worried about this but I need the reassurance lol

A lot of the time we have to use them for our son because he's a master at escaping a blanket swaddle and then he gets super fussy.
