Hi! I have a 7 month old baby boy who has been swaddled since the day he was born (the Kiddopotamus swaddle). He needs to have it on very tight anytime I am trying to get him to fall asleep. I know that many people usually stop swaddling sooner, but my baby will not settle and fall asleep without it. He has never fallen asleep without it since he was about 3 months old (he would sleep in my wrap). I am now having a lot of trouble within the past 4 weeks with him to sleep. I don't know if he is starting to outgrow it, or if it's his teething....he just got his first tooth 2 weeks ago and his second tooth last week.
It now takes him much longer to be nursed and rocked to sleep. The big problem is that once he falls asleep he wakes about every hour throughout the night. He is grunting and sometimes fussing in his sleep. Even though he is sleeping right beside me (we co-sleep) he needs to be held and rocked/nursed and shushed to sleep. He used to be an excellent sleeper, just waking about 3-4 times a night to nurse, still sleeping. But now, I don't know what to do! Has anyone else had this problem or can offer any suggestions to help! Anything would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
