Would she still be able to pull her dummy out if she has a mitten on?]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 21:50:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17895&PID=403901&title=when-did-you-stop-wrapping#403901 <![CDATA[When Did You Stop Wrapping.... : How old was she Emma?

How old was she Emma?

I have tried the one arm thingy, but Zoe can still get to her dummy and pull it out.

I did the one arm wrap with Sienna coz she needed a fist to chew. One thing I found was that the Sleep Store stretchy cotton knit wraps were great coz they had a bit of give in them so she could wriggle but not get out of it.]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:21:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17895&PID=403688&title=when-did-you-stop-wrapping#403688 <![CDATA[When Did You Stop Wrapping.... : Rhyley was 6 months (when we came...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17895&PID=403620&title=when-did-you-stop-wrapping#403620 Author: AnnC

i think we weaned him off being wrapped about 3 or 4 months, the sleepstore website has good tips on how to wean them gradually, i followed those so it wasnt such a big shock to him, i used to wrap him in muslin and he still likes that in bed ]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 11:00:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17895&PID=402978&title=when-did-you-stop-wrapping#402978 <![CDATA[When Did You Stop Wrapping.... : not a surprise but we moved to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17895&PID=402900&title=when-did-you-stop-wrapping#402900 Author: pekemoemum

not a surprise but we moved to a Peke Moe when Tyde started unwrapping.
You can try a 'normal' sleeping bag too, that may suit her??
In regards to the dummy, I attached Tydes to the front of his Peke Moe with a nappy pin (using one of those dummy chain things) and when he started waking for it, I just guided his hand to it and he learn to put it in by himself.
all the best! :)]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 10:05:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17895&PID=402900&title=when-did-you-stop-wrapping#402900 <![CDATA[When Did You Stop Wrapping.... : We didn&#039;t wrap Chloe when...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17895&PID=402884&title=when-did-you-stop-wrapping#402884 Author: LittleBug

We didn't wrap Chloe when we tried her in a fleecy sleep-sack type thing that had long thick arms on it (so her hands weren't free) and she loved sleeping with her hands up, so now she sleeps unwrapped all the time (since about 3 and 3/4 months). She also tried the dummy pulling trick, so we just put her in mittens every time she goes to bed, and she sleeps really well like that.]]> Wed, 04 Jun 2008 09:53:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17895&PID=402884&title=when-did-you-stop-wrapping#402884 <![CDATA[When Did You Stop Wrapping.... : Cooper was around 3mths, we used...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17895&PID=402878&title=when-did-you-stop-wrapping#402878 Author: .Mel

We've just recently starting wrapping our boy with one arm out, and at first he would do the same as Zoe - pull his dummy out. Now we put a nice soft polarfleece mitten on his hand and he can't pull it out, and is happy as larry. We give him a muzzie to cuddle too.

We find he sleeps better with one arm out cos
1. he's still partly wrapped which is a big sleep cue for him
2. he can kinda wave his arm around when he wakes and it keeps him happy
3. he can rub his face with his mitten/muzzie and it seems to calm him down

We have these awesome wraps which are big and stretchy, we do them up real tight around Harry's other arm and he can never get out. They're mother's choice bunny rugs and they come in a pack of 3.

ETA: But then Harry is a couple of months younger than Zoe so she's probably stronger than him

Know exactly where you are coming from as we went through the same thing.  Unfortunately Alandra is still waking to have her dummy put back in during the nite occassionally (10 months old).  On the wrapping side though I made a break through using a sleep sack, but this one has no sleeves etc...  Just a sack with hole for head and zips up along the bottom.  I purchased my first one from www.pekemoe.co.nz and then had my mother make another two for me.  I had tried other things to no avail as she loved being wrapped but like Zoe was wriggling out and getting into mischief. 

Hope that this helps, we also use a safety sleep to keep her in one place- cruel parents I know!!  But hey the less times i have to get up in the nite the better. 

Best of luck

your baby?

Zoe is 6 months and we can't wrap her anymore as she is too strong and wriggles out of her wrap ( a cot sheet). So any tips to try and make this easier for us and her? She also has a dummy so pulls that out of her mouth and puts in back in and screams when it's out!!
