The Joys of Swaddling


After a few weeks of Mom and Dad claiming that Lauren could not and did not want to be swaddled. Her swimming legs and arms made it very clear that this was not was right for her. Well Mom and I are here to praise the wonders of swaddling. Up to yesterday Lauren would sleep for about an hour, generally less, and then would be up and keeping us up. This was most enjoyable between 1 and 5 AM when it would take 30-40 minutes to get her back to sleep.

Then we consulted The Happiest Baby on the Block per our pediatrician's advice and read the step-by-step instructions on how to swaddle. For the first 24 hours, Lauren seems to be a new person. She slept very well last night and took a couple great naps today.

We are very hopeful for tonight and will keep you up to speed on how this all works out. After our best night of sleep in four weeks Mom and I are ready to tell the world about the joys of swaddling.
