Stop wrapping a 7 month old?? and is it that hard to do?
Zoe is too strong to be wrapped, and gets one arm out then screams the house down, then spits out her dummy! It doesn't matter how many times you wrap her with all your might, she manages to wriggle free, is driving DH and myself bananas! 
Tips please!!!

We went straight from wrapping to a sleeping bag without any problems, I don't even think we weaned Cooper as such, we just kind of stopped doing it and he didn't seem to mind...

We actually used to safety pin Jack's wrap as it was just a square of material. We weaned him from it at about 5mths before he moved into the cot. I wrapped him with one arm out for a few nights, then both arms out and wrap just around his body for a few nights then no wrap at all. We were a little lucky though as he only had a wrap at night so was used to sleeping without it.
Good luck!!

Awwww... want to come here and try it out!  The funny thing is, that we are only wrapping her so that her hands are tied down so that she doesn't flick out her dummy!!!
I have seen her sleep without the dummy and not wrapped!
