My son hated be swaddled.he kicked off the blanket and cried if he couldn't get it off We used the sleep sacks also, they do have sacks without the feet in them.they ride up, but they will work if she doesn't want her feet covered.you can put on a thin pair of pants under the feetless sleeper to keep her legs warm.
Think I'd go with the iglooProbably better insulation and easier to keep clean.
Some babies are like this- and ours was tooAs soon as the nurses swaddled her- she would fight to get her arms freeIt's ok! Listen to your babyThey have their own opinions at even such a young ageI was surprised ours loved her sling though she hated to be wrapped upGood luck to you!
Follow your babies leadIf you are comfortable in one layer I believe so will sheIf she feels safe and secure to sleep unswaddled, so be it! My first loved the swaddle and it was a wonderful way to calm himMy second just needed to be rocked gently in arms as she drifted sweetly to sleep unencumbered by the blankets or sleepersMy best advise would be to follow your heart as you journey through the coming yearsI am a strong believer in attachment parenting and have a two fabulous teens to prove that you cannot spoil a child - (they are not fruit!!!) with to much love and attentionI held my babies all the time either in arms or a slingWe practiced the family bed until the children moved gracefullly into their independenceOne cannot hope to develop healthy lasting independence without the safety and security of experiencing unconditional love, complete, dependable attention and open arms no matter their dispositionA crying baby needs love and understandingIf we are upset, for any reason, we seek comfort and love, if our spouse simply sent us to a room to cry it out we would think them sadly lacking in the spirit of compassion and tendernessTeach your baby that life is secure, safe, dependable and full of love and understandingThey will have many years to learn the skills to cope with the harsh realities of the worldIf you make your home a place of warmth and love they will always want to be there!! Warmly JG
My son showed that he hated being swaddled while we were in the hospitalHe'd throw his arms around until his hands were outIf she's fidgeting and fussing while being swaddled and while swaddled then don't do itIt's not needed.
