I found how to keep my boys sleeping through the night!
SWADDLE them again...
I posted yesterday about how frustrated I was that both of my boys were waking up a million times in the night not even to eat but they just were awake and wanting to be held...I couldn't let them lay in their cribs and cry bc I was worried that they would wake their brother, so it was very draining night after night getting no sleep. As soon as I would get one to go to sleep, the other would wake up....and the cycle would repeat.
Last night after getting no sleep once again, I saw their old swaddle me's in the corner, put them on them while they were both wide awake, put them in their cribs, and they fell right to sleep - and STAYED sleeping!!!!!!
what a miracle..
now - is it bad to be swaddled at 4+ months?

Not at all. I would have kept my son swaddled for as long as he let me. But we had to stop early for other reasons. 
If they're happy and like it that way... i say keep going!

Re: I found how to keep my boys sleeping through the night!
i agree with ali - i would have swaddled my DS until he was 10 if he would let me! (um, yes 10 years  )
DS broke out of the swaddle me at 4 months and we had to get rid of it, but IMO there is nothing wrong with swaddling them to sleep. if it works that is awesome!!!

Re: I found how to keep my boys sleeping through the night!
how do you guys swaddle your DC at 3+ months? the swaddle me that I have hasn't fit DS in like 4 weeks.. otherwise I would def. keep him swaddled, because he does the same thing ((wakes up and isn't hungry, just awake))

Keep swaddling, DD woke all the time when I transitioned her to the sleep sack at 4 months. They should get better at not waking up so much around 5 - 6 months or so!

I used a rec blanket. DS was different though, he needed the swaddle to fall asleep, after that if he broke out he was fine.
