When should I stop wrapping my baby?
Swaddling works particularly well for about the first 2-3 months, as it reduces your baby startling herself awake. So any time after your baby's startle reflex stops is a good time to start weaning off wrapping.
We find it works best to wean baby off wrapping gradually, by first introducing wrapping with one arm out. Then you can start to introduce a sleeping bag, which is the ideal replacement to swaddling.
The ergoPouch Cocoon Swaddle Bag is very useful for weaning off swaddling, as you can use it with both arms in, one arm in or both arms out.
The other key consideration is whether your baby is rolling. Swaddling is very safe when baby is sleeping on their back, but has an increased SIDS risk if baby is swaddled and sleeping on their tummy. So if your baby starts to show signs of rolling onto their tummy, you need to start transitioning baby to a sleeping bag so their arms are free.
