A. Its good that he is sleeping unswaddled... mine wants to be swaddled always and its such a task. she is 3.75 months and still wants to be swaddled. swaddling is basically done to help them transition from the tight womb facility to the outside free world. dont worry if he doesnt wanna b swaddled.. its completely okay and good actually
