This is a very difficult topic to talk about without sounding insensitive...because nine out of ten times, the baby doesn’t like being swaddled because they aren’t being swaddled correctly!
How and when do I transition my baby out of a swaddle?
Good question! And a super important question because swaddling too long can be a huge safety risk.
The short and loose answer is around 4 months.
If you have read our Essential’s Guide you may have realized that we are a bit sleep centered [some may say obsessed]. We really want your baby sleeping 12 hours at night by 12 weeks and on a beautiful and effortless daytime schedule. A building block of quality sleep is babies setting up their days and their nights.
If you’ve looked at our products at all, you’ve already seen that we love swaddles. We have MULTIPLE different swaddles in our boxes.
“We don’t want to use a sound machine because our baby will become addicted.”
The short answer to why a sound machine is important is because we want babies and toddlers to have a high quality of sleep!
