My baby is super active, but she's let me swaddle her up until now (when I first put her down). Now she's refusing, but I can get her to go to sleep. Once I go to bed, when she wakes up, I've taken her out of the swaddle and she falls asleep next to me. But I don't want to go to bed at 7:30pm, and I can't figure out how to get her to sleep - she fights it big time.
I had the same problem until I bought a swing and now I put him in that until I am ready to go to bed. It helps out a lot, he gets to go to sleep when he wants and I get to go to bed when I want. When I am ready to go to bed I just take him out and go, its that simple.
