How to Transition your Baby Out of the Swaddle: The Next Step to Swaddling

Is your little one fidgeting and fighting the swaddle? Has he or she increased arm activity? 

If you are caring for a newborn and wondering, “why won’t baby sleep in a swaddle anymore!?”, don’t stress. This just means baby is growing stronger and is ready to transition! Follow these simple steps to help baby sleep comfortably again when swaddled:

1. Purchase the embé SwaddleOut™ from our Transitional Collection here

2. Start with swaddling with ONE arm out (3-4 nights)

3. Try swaddling with TWO arms out (3-4 nights)

4. Be patient- It may take 1-2 weeks for baby to transition!

5. If your baby is still waking up multiple times, you may have transitioned too early

6. Let us know how our SwaddleOut™ works for your baby and leave us a review! OR, show us your little one and tag us on Instagram @embebabies.

 We hope this helps you and your little one. Good luck with the transition, mamas!
