Alex will not go to sleep without being swaddled--tightly. Her arms constantly startle her as she moves them through the air ("Yikes! What are these?!"). We've tried blankets, swaddlers with velcro, etc. One of Ryan's coworkers, Whitney, taught him a special swaddle--that worked well. The problem was the I could never do it right--it only takes her 1-2 hours to get out of it when I do it where as it takes 6-8 hours for her to houdini her way out when Ryan does it. Then I found a swaddle blanket online that made swaddling easy--The Miracle Blanket. It has been great! She can not worm her way out and I can do it quickly in the middle of the night--yaaaaaaaah! Now we just can't wait for her to not need swaddling (cut down on the middle-of-the-night work!).
