When and how to stop wrapping?

I stopped wrapping daniel at about 3 months, he just use to get pissed off if I wrapped him. Perhaps try not wrapping or leaving an arm out during the day and once she has got use to that then try at night. But theres no harm in continuing to wrap her

Spencer is still wrapped and don't think we will be stopping anytime soon, he beats himself up if his hands are out lol. Seems to get angry with his eyes.

my mother told me (ages ago with my first) that they will let you know... when they can get out of the wrapping by themselves...(sorry i couldnt see half your post or the replies cause the advertising was over it )

what do you know, as soon as i replied the advertising disappeared! how weird is that...

When Kryssi was managing to unwrap herself but still being able to go to sleep (in fact she used to like to hold the wrap in her hands and suckle her fingers), is when I started stopping wrapping her. I just wrapped her looser and looser until not at all - and then I introduced a top sheet, tucked all around, instead.

If you delete the first "[URL=http://tickers.families.com ]" in your signature bar I think it will work better

Oliver beats himself up and scratches until he bleeds if his hands are left out! Im hoping we might be able to try and stop wrapping after christmas at more 8 months.... fingers crossed!

I wrapped the gremlins till about 7 months, I started by doing one arm out for their day sleeps, and then a week or so later tried it at night. Sienna was weaned off wrapping before Mercedes tho coz Mercedes seemed to need the security more.

We had real trouble weaning Charlotte from wrapping so I didn't want to have the same problem with Kate. When she was about 2 months I bought this Puckababy wrap thing. Its great because the thing that woke up both my girls when they weren't wrapped was getting their hands up to their faces and this means that their arms are free up to a point but they can't get them up to their faces. Its a nice halfway point between being wrapped and being totally free because they have a little freedon with their arms but are still kind of secured within something. She now just sleeps with her arms free and we found that transition really easy.

I hardly ever wrap Catherine anymore (3 months) as she used to create such an outcry when she couldn't get to her hands. We put her in her gogo bag and she sleeps better (when not going through a growth spurt!) at night. Nothing works during the daytime as she is such a little wrigglebutt and doesn't like to daytime sleep.

I was wrapping my boy right up until just recently when I gave up because he ALWAYS managed to unwrap himself and get his arms out literally seconds after I had wrapped him up as snug as a bug.

He used to always attack himself at night and in the mornings I would wake to find deep scratches on his face and what not.

Just the past 2 weeks he has started rolling onto his tummy, and is now a tummy sleeper or sometimes sleeps on his side.

I was rather paranoid with the wrapping and cot death risk, and now I have absolutely no control. But I guess Lucas is old enough and big enough to look after himself and know what he is doing.

Several times I have woken to find him face into the mattress sleeping, and scared the crap outta me in doing so!

Has anyone else here got tummy-sleepers?

Arabella has gotten out of her wrap since week 1 not even the nurses or midwives could keep her arm in. . Yet she wont settle unless she is wrapped so we leave one hand free or able to get loose
