Older baby swaddle?

[confustication]

My six month old NEEDS to be swaddled to rest unless it's at night and he's nursing/cosleeping, and even then, he has to be tucked in my arm just so.

However, it's beginning to warm up, and the blankets I have that will fit to swaddle him are pretty heavy. I'm looking for a great (cheap? does this exist?) blanket that's sturdy enough for a good swaddle without being so heavy that it causes him to overheat. Also, it has to be big enough for an older baby.

Help!

I really like the solana wraps...

Well, you could spring for the large adan + anais cotton muslin swaddling blankets. Or, you could hit up a fabric store and buy some light cotton and just cut it to size and hem the edges so it doesn't fray.

I like the miracle blanket,it really holds my squiggler in. You can always swaddle in just a diaper, that keeps em cooler.

my DS was having such night thrashing the other night that DP just cut off a sleeve from one of his shirts and we put his around his torso to hold his arms in. at the time it seemed like a big straight-jacket and I was not happy with the idea. But it worked Beautifully!! He hasn't been swaddled in months, but for a short-term fix, this worked :-) Now I'm off to look for 'actual' swaddlers again. Thanks for bringing this topic up!

I just bought some good quality muslin and some quilting bias tape. I ran the bias tape around the edge of the 45 x 45 muslin and prepped it- and now it's sitting in a dye bath in my kitchen sink.

I like the Aden and Anais stuff, but I'm far too impatient.
