Our 5-month old baby loves swaddling, but recently she started to wiggle loose. What can we do to make it work again?
Please make sure you are using white noise all night (this will keep you baby more relaxed) and double check your wrapping technique with the DVD to make sure you are swaddling the baby snugly, arms down, so she can’t pop out too easily. Also, make sure that the blanket is still big enough for the last part of the wrap to go all the way around and tuck in front (as shown in the swaddling demonstration on the DVD). If the blanket is wrapped too loose or too small it may actually make your baby fuss more. (The blanket should be about 44 inch square.
