ooo the swaddle… we swaddled right up until 6 months when one night she screamed and thrashed and let us know she was done…. although still if she is struggling to get to sleep for a nap if i wrap her legs in a blanket and hold one hand she falls right to sleep…

HILARIOUS! And undoubtedly adorable! My little houdini often broke free of the swaddle as soon as it was in place, but when it DID work, it was like magic…

I just love this! What a cute little problem-solver! Kudos to moms for figuring out how to keep his late-night raving at bay.

LOL! Glad he likes the swaddle and glad you figured out he likes the swaddle (even more important).
Little J has never been much for a swaddle…he used to thrash his arms right out of the swaddle and then he could do that with his legs too. He is much more restful without the swaddle (but he doesn’t have a mobile over his crib).

When I was little I learned from TLC’s A Baby Story (oh god, that sounds weirder than it was, trust me) that you always swaddle a baby at night otherwise they NEVER.EVER.SLEEP

So, I swaddled all of my baby dolls before “bedtime” and am now an expert at it.

However, when my niece was born, I attempted to swaddle her tiny self and her head almost exploded with anger. Apparently swaddling is only for SOME babies. TLC should be more specific, because I think I scarred my niece a little.

I’m glad it works for you, though, because surely raves are inappropriate at 6 a.m., even if he did drop a little too much acid. But babies, they’re always “so what if I fall asleep in a gutter? I’ll shake it off in the morning.” Pfft.

much love from deep in the heart.
