Anyone swaddle(d) an older baby?

We had a similar problem with my son, now 13 months. He was still being swaddled at 7 months, but would fight to get out... as soon as he got out, he'd wake up and cry until I reswaddled him. Then he went right back to sleep. It was a horrible cycle and we got no sleep! We decided to do sleep training and take away the swaddle all at once. At 8 months, I tried a modified ferber method (cry it out). While this is not for everyone, it worked for us, and I highly recommend doing it. I made sure he was fed, warm and dry and put him in his crib. Then I checked on him at gradually increasing intervals until he stopped crying and went to sleep. The first night took 2 hours. Second night took 1 hour and the third night was only 10 minutes. On the fourth night I gave him a little security blanket and he went to sleep immediately. He's been amazing ever since! I recommend this to anyone trying to get rid of pacifiers, swaddling, or just to get baby to sleep through the night. If and when I have another, we'll do it much sooner!
