SafeTsleep vs Wrapping

I do both! Mum made our safety sleeps.

I just wrapped Hannah for the first few months. When she started getting out of her wrap she didnt sleep as well so used both wrap and safety sleep. Now she just goes in her safety sleep.

When James was in the bassinet we just wrapped him since he's been in the cot we do both.

We do both too. Andy still can't sleep with his arms out. If he falls asleep without being wrapped (very rare) I can sometimes manage to lie him down, put his arms down and put the safety sleep over them.

I wish we didn't have to wrap Andy so that we could use the cool sleep sack we bought him. Will probably outgrow it before he's used it. We use an Angelcare monitor too. Best thing we've ever bought!

Hey Laura, when I weaned Han off wrapping I put her in a sleep sack during the day with her arms inside it - so they were still snug for her but she was getting used to them moving around.

Wrapping - I put bubs slightly off centre on the wrap (they need to be big, I ended up making my own out of a sheet), wrap the short side over and tuck underneath, then cross the longer side over but put a tuck in it at about elbow height so the edge wraps around horizontally not diagonally and wrap it right around and tuck under the bottom! That probably makes no sense at all!!

with tash i used to wrap her and she was in one of those wedge thingys then when she went into a cot we used a safty sleep thingy. but it didnt take her long to work out how to undo the safty sleep.i used a cloth nappy for wrapping most of the time, during the day i used a muslim wrap that was given to us by our old bosses mum as it was sooo hot during the summer
