Am i doing my db a disservice by still swaddling him tightly at 3 months? He seems desperate to suck but won't really work a pacifier and I can't get him to go to sleep any other way. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

swaddling is fine. My pediatrician said to do it as long as possible. [ Reply | More

Do whatever works now. You can deal with any consequences later. Because it's so hard to predict what your db will need next week, you know? [ Reply | More

yes! it can slow down his development, stop swaddle him right away. Get him to suck on his own thumb, it is a good thing to learn to self regulating! [ Reply | More

But they have all their waking hours to learn to use their arms. I don't think OP is keeping him hog-tied all 24/7 or anything. [ Reply | More
