Swaddle Sleeping Fiasco (lemmy.world)

My 3 week old is too strong for a swaddle but too new for arms out. Thoughts?

I have tried blanket swaddle, Velcro, zipper, love to dream, etc. She busts out of all of them and gets her arms caught up by her face, waking her up naturally. My first born was the same way. I did arms out sleep sack last night and she had the roughest night, translating to me too. I'm not sure what else to do given that pesky Moro reflex is around for awhile still.

Get the velcro swaddles, like SwadleMe, and when swaddling hold their arms straight at their sides while you wrap tight like a burrito. You should be able to keep them swaddled until at least 3 months. From there we moved on to a sleep sack.
