It's a Mom's World Home

I don't have much advice on the swaddling side of things because my kids weren't swaddled from a couple days old, but I wouldn't stress to much to get him sleeping through. He is still a newbie and to be honest, as exhausting as it is, it's a bit unrealistic to have him sleeping right through (even though technically 'sleeping through' is 5 hours).
The fact that he's up only for 2 feeds is pretty good! A lot of bubs his age are still on the 2 or 3 hourly feeds!!

Have you tried doing the angle wrap - its a swaddling technique I was taught at sleep school as DS always got out of normal swaddling so i gave up at around a similar age to you but once we got him back into it around 9 weeks he was swaddled till at least 4 months.

Its a bit more complicated to do, till you get the hand of it but it works - I think the save our sleep website has picture instructions.

At about his age our baby went into something called a hands up wrap by love me baby. Google it. Its really great and he seems to sleep well in it. He has slept through about 4 times since he was born and now he wakes around about once a night. Goodluck!

for me swaddling my baby is alright, ive noticed my baby if ill swaddle her she'll feel comfortable with it. :) as i read in an article, Swaddling is the art of snugly wrapping your baby in a blanket for warmth and security. It can keep him from being disturbed by his own startle reflex, and it may even help him stay warm and toasty for the first few days of life until his internal thermostat kicks in. Most important, it can help to calm your baby.
