stopping swaddling -did your DC do this?

Not sleep at all! My child has not slept well in 3 nights now...she moves around like i have never seen, startles, and literally is the most restless thing i have ever seen, needless to say i am on a total of like 7 hours in 2 days..
Is this normal, do i keep up with it? I feel bad for her too! We are zombies, lol.
Just wondered if this is normal and how long it took DC to get used to being without it..
My DD is 3 months old but rips out every night so we had no choice but to stop..its that or reswaddle 10 times a night...

Re: stopping swaddling -did your DC do this?

My DS starting ripping out about the same time. Often I would re-swaddle, but leave one arm out and sometimes that would work. It's tough, my DS still seemed to need the swaddle to settle down enough to sleep, but would try to get out of it, even as a tiny infant.

I kept using it until I was getting up too many times, and then decided it was time to break the habit. I think it took about a week for him to get back to sleeping though the night again. Good luck!
