When and how to stop wrapping

From what I've read you just leave one arm out of the swaddle and see how that goes for a while.

we were like LF - Astin was wrapped for ages!!!! until 9 months i think it was!! we had tried to unwrap him but he didnt like it! and was taking ages to settle back down!! cant remember why we stopped but we too just went cold turkey and he was fine!!!

We did one arm during day sleeps first (it was about 14 weeks I think) and then after about a week did it at night as well. He was out of the wrap by 18 weeks and just in a safety sleep, which hes still in.

LMAO!!!!

I stopped wrapping DD around 3 months during the day, went cold turkey, she loved her hands free, still wrapped her at night, but havent done that for a few weeks now and DD can sleep through the night, she loves sucking on her hands...if only she would fall asleep sucking them instead of her dummy.

We didn't stop wrapping Dom until he was almost a year old, he loved it though. Issy we only wrap very loosely as she likes to be able to have some arm movement. She was just like Kaelina she would wake herself up trying to get her hands out. Try wraping her loosely from the front to back. So a muslin square folded in a little triangle at the top, placed high on chest and shoulders, then pick her up and pull on side diagonally down over her back and one straight across. You have to do one side diagonally and one straight so it can't be pulled up around her neck. This way of wrapping allows them to suck their hands with out allowing their arms to wack them when they have a moro reflex.
All the best

I think you can wrap for as long as it works! Once baby starts rolling/moving around cot, then wrapping can become a hazard. We had to transition Tyde when he started escaping the wrap all night and his sleep deteriorated majorly (went from sleeping all night to waking 6/7times!!) We tried the techniques - loosen wrap for naps first, try wrapping just one arm etc.. but he just didn't transition well. We put him in the Peke Moe and it worked immediately. I think that some babies will transition really easily and others it can take a wee while, so just be prepared for some disrupted nights if/when you decide to transition :) but as the others mentioned.. they do get over it! :) all the best!

We didn't wrap Lyall after about the first week, was just too hot, but wanted to say hi..haven't seen you round for a bit, hope things are all going well :)
