I should know the answer to this as DD1&2 were both swaddled but didn't have the same problem.
DD3 is 10 weeks old and I've just started getting her down for bed at 7ish which is going fine, but... She tends to wake at 12 for a feed and I'm then really struggling to get her back down. She goes down but she is very fidgety and just generally seems uncomfortable although not in pain. She fidgets and wriggles until she wakes herself up. This went on for 4 hours two nights ago when I ended up just letting her sleep on me and again the same last night.
Previously she would have cuddles with DP downstairs whilst I got a few hours sleep then he'd bring her up to me so she wasn't swaddled during this time and I just wondered whether being swaddled for longer might be restricting her passing wind, although haven't had this before.
Probably all be different again tonight but thought I'd see if anyone had anything similar and whether I should think about using grobag tonight.
Thanks

Anyone else found swaddling their baby makes it harder for them to pass wind?
