I am a first time mom and I have been swaddling my 5 month old daughter tight in her swaddle blanket ever since day one. She will not sleep without it. Her Nana says she looks like a mummy, others say she looks like she's in a straight jacket in her swaddle blanket. She has slept all through the night since the first month. She sleeps 12-13 hours at night and is just starting to take naps during the day. (She used to only nap 15 minutes throughout the day, guess it's the price I pay for sleeping through the night). Her doctor said it's time to start loosening the swaddle blanket at night so she can get used to sleeping without it...but I have no idea what to do! When she's not swaddled she'll sleep peacefully in my arms but as soon as she's laying down in her crib her eyes pop wide open! Does anyone have any advice on how I can get her to sleep!?!? She and I both need a new routine and I don't know what to do!!!
