How did YOU wean from the swaddle?!

Lets get some real mom advice!

Here's how I did it.

First of all, my son was firmly addicted. He would not sleep without it. He would lay in bed screaming if we tried nap time without it. It was the main part of his "nap-time/night-time routine"and it was COHESIVE! Lets face it, a quick swaddle and kiddo knew what was going on. (the good old days..)

1. I knew it was time.
Kiddo was 6 months old, and he was wiggling down. He would wake up with his little burrito covering his face, and his feet sticking out the bottom.
2. Even though he had been struggling in the swaddle for months- he still secretly loved it.
3. I tried the one-arm-out solution as a test run. It worked okay.
4. I tried and purchased the beautiful but pricey "Peke Moe"
5. That worked okay.
6. In the end- I just went cold turkey which wasn't as hard as I had imagined it would be.
7. I also had a nutty moment where (again: this is MOM advice. Heed at your own risk..) where I took those cords that you can buy for the pacifier and I sewed them onto all of his favorite blankets. Then I attached the pacifier to the snappy-ring-thing (these were mam's) and voila!

It took us 2 days to figure it out. What about the rest of my experienced mother's out there. How did you wean from the swaddle?
