How Long Did You Swaddle Your Infant? Also, Baby Won't Take Pacifier...

My baby girl is turning 3 months on Monday - I have heard that by now we shouldn't be swaddling her anymore. She will ONLY sleep if she is wrapped up really really tight. If not, she can fall asleep but will wake up soon after drifting off and wake often during the night because her hands are free to roam up by her face --she gets frustrated & all worked up because she starts sucking on her fists. Any advice? She won't for the life of me take a pacifier because the hospital started us on giving her our pinkie finger to suck on & that is...

5 Month Old Breastfed Baby, Sleep Issues, Formula and Miracle Blanket

I think I may have a unique problem that is a combination of breastfeeding, swaddling, sleep, and sanity... My 5 month old daughter Isabella was never a great sleeper.

A friend of mine highly recommended the miracle blanket which is sort of like a baby straightjacket. It worked in extending her sleep by an hour or two (when she only slept a couple of hours, it was very helpful) and it became...

Miracle Blanket Users - When Did You Stop Using It?

My daughter just turned 6 months old and still sleeps wrapped up tightly in her miracle blanket. Wondering when your kids wrestled free. (My oldest used Miracle blankets until about 5 months and always woke up with it sort of loosely wrapped in place until she finally broke free -- then we dropped it cold turkey. Shortly thereafter she started sleeping on her belly in a Halo.) Is there any reason for me to stop wrapping her up? I told her doc at her well baby visit that she still sleeps swaddled up tightly and he didn't bat an eye so I...
