My 9.5-week-old baby LOVES to be swaddled to sleep. It's the only way she'll go to sleep and she gives me a 7-hour stretch. But I'm already fretting the weaning from swaddling. Did/does anyone here swaddle or used to swaddle and had to wean the baby from it? How awful was it? Do they just outgrow it? My thoughts are that when she starts rolling over I'll let her sleep on her stomach. If I didn't swaddle her, she would want to sleep on her stomach.

I say keep them swaddled as long as they will let you!!! 9.5 weeks is still pretty young to be thinking about getting out of swaddling, I always say swaddle them until at least 4 months. Then they will usually let you know when they are ready to not be swaddled anymore, and it's ok because it's their decision. :D

Goodluck
