When should you stop swaddling your baby? Do you wean off slowly or is there a time you just suddenly stop swaddling?

Most babies will tell you when they don’t want to be swaddled anymore. When they are older, stronger, or feel more comfortable outside of the swaddle, they will likely put up a terrible fuss or simply fight their way out of the swaddle and be content to sleep unbundled. Most of my friends stopped when their babies knew how to flip over on their own. So around 4-6 months. That said there are many cultures around the world who regularly swaddle babies past one year. In fact, Greek philosopher Plato recommended swaddling babies until they turned two. God knows how that would have ever worked!!
