ok im just after a little advice..

DD is nearly 4 months old and when she was a baby baby she never used to be wrapped which is how i liked it cause its just way to hot (most of the time) anyway now the only way that i can get her to sleep is if she is wrapped really tight otherwise as soon as she moves her hands she wakes. she is still being rocked to sleep and of a night time she feeds to sleep, i just dont know weather i should continue wrapping her for every sleep or maybe just night time or if i should get rid of the wraps and let her learn to sleep with out them. the only problem i have with wrapping her is the heat i use the muslin ones put she still wakes up all hot and sweaty..
is it going to be easier in the long run to teach her to sleep with out it??? I dont know... TIA

i'm still wrapping DD

during the day I wrap her lightly so she can get her arms out, and at night I wrap her tightly, its not that hot at the mo so she doesn't get too hot, if its hot during the day I just put her in a singlet or a t-shirt and wrap, so she's not too hot
