We are finally swaddle free!! Cristiana loved to be swaddled (it was the only way she slept in stretches longer than 2 hrs.) and just recently is finally sleeping without it (not through the night of course, I think that will only happen when she gets into high school, or something:)). Early on, Cristiana would escape from her swaddles but she definitely was not ready to be without one so we ended up needing to buy her The Miracle Blanket and it was definitely a miracle (no pun intended). There was no way of escaping out of it and it helped her sleep (again, not through the night, but for a 5-6 hr. stretch). I'm not sure if it's because she was 4 weeks early but it was a struggle to wean her off of it, and we started to worry because everything I read said that babies should not be swaddled past 4 months due to delays in motor skills development. We tried going cold turkey, it was awful. We got her back in and after a week or 2 we first removed her arms. Ahh, success. We left her like that for another 2 weeks and finally this week, we slipped her legs out. So far so good. We'll see how it goes for the rest of the week.
