swaddling
My 3 week old absolutely hates being out of her swaddle. She'll tolerate it for 5-15 here and there for bath times or tummy time on my chest but then she won't calm down til sheis back in it . She doesn't mind the swaddle being loose or her arm or arms out. But even when she is awake and socializing she has to be in it. I feel bad she is in it all the time and that it may stunt her development.
As long as her legs are free at times during the day. Excess swaddling isnt great for hip development.
Im not judging, my first was like yours. She had a really strong startle reflex. And liked swaddling until that reduced.
I found baby wearing where they are snug, but their hips are wide open was a nice compromise.
Good luck!
I’d say if you can make it as loose as possible for her but that she still feels safe—it would be just fine. I know that they (Dr Google) don’t recommend swaddling for longer than 12 hours in a day but that’s for a tight swaddle. Keep princess happy and she’ll be just fine! I’ve read most babies peace out from wanting to be swaddled around 3 months?
That's what I was thinking but I just want not opinions. I can't find much on the internet
So fucking pissed. My niece drew all over my daughters wall in her playroom. I tell my sister about it and she had the nerve to fucking laugh. If that were my daughter and she did that to her house I'd be paying for new painted walls!! then had the nerve to say "she's only two". (She's allowed to do that at their house) well here she got her ass busted and put in time out until her mother gets here. Now I have to figure out how get this crayon off the damn walls with out them being ruined. fml...
Why is it that all day my 2 week old want to cluster feed and be in my arms all day and when i try to swaddle her she wont lay down in her swing but come night time she will sleep with out me holding her and she is okay with being swaddle.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
Any advice on weaning a baby off needing to be swaddled? My daughter will be four months, and is starting to roll, her arms are already out of the swaddle but when I try putting her to bed with nothing she wakes up every hour on the hour. TIA:)
My first born loved being swaddled all the time. I would still swaddle her at 6 months because she wouldn't sleep any other way. I wouldn't worry too much about it. She started crawling right away sitting up and I know it might be hard to believe but she started walking at nine months too
