The swaddle will keep the foot in the undesired position undoing all of your hard physio work. We just swaddle around the arms and leave it loose below as that's the most important part and it works fine.

Like most changes, when u drop it there will be an adjustment period as baby learns to settle and sleep in the new situation. Going from one arm out to two arms out to just having below the arms wrapped is a good transition technique for many babies.<br /><br />RachelRachel Rowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160855322599826360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230077724876087121.post-23856097640364091092014-02-22T03:37:09.824-07:002014-02-22T03:37:09.824-07:00I believe you'll find the info I the comments ...I believe you'll find the info I the comments of the post.

This might be related to the fact that at that time our kid had relatively good head control (could lift head without arms and turn it).<br /><br />We started swaddling one arm out (either arm), which seems to work alright. With two arms out, our kid tends to keep himself awake by waving his arms around. I think at this point the swaddle (providing some sort of limb restriction) might be a sleep association. Without it, maybe he doesn't realize, "oh, I should relax and sleep."markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308876191735692898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230077724876087121.post-63308194859490130642014-02-18T17:45:04.135-07:002014-02-18T17:45:04.135-07:00Can you point me to the particular post?

When we came home from the hospital, my daughter would not sleep unless being held by her daddy or me. We took turns holding her (neither my husband or myself felt comfortable with the idea of bedsharing) for a few hours at a time while the other one got some sleep. My sister introduced us to the Miracle blanket and my daughter suddenly started sleeping without being held! We swaddled her for all naps and at night until she started rolling to her tummy (3 months old), but she wasn't ready to sleep unswaddled (we tried, unsuccessfully), so we simply left her arms out of the swaddle and just swaddled her from the waist down. My daughter is only 5 months old now, but I will definitely swaddle my next when the time comes.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306447049087373837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230077724876087121.post-7430800428268428942014-02-18T07:55:02.233-07:002014-02-18T07:55:02.233-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Maritezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567731379112923972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230077724876087121.post-5876225976295304042014-02-18T07:54:47.506-07:002014-02-18T07:54:47.506-07:00What is the best way to transition your baby out o...What is the best way to transition your baby out of swaddling?Maritezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567731379112923972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230077724876087121.post-17625672225439311442014-02-18T00:57:21.391-07:002014-02-18T00:57:21.391-07:00I would definitely still swaddle, and your guideli...I would definitely still swaddle, and your guidelines are great!
