S is for Sleep... but only if you swaddle

[camille]

Kerena has been getting to big to really be swaddled very well. Which is saying a lot because I am an expert swaddler. I can wrap up a baby like a burrito held together with tension and pasty beans. But she is a strong girl and by 2 am had managed to squirm and push and wiggle out of her swaddle. Then I dug up the Miracle Blanket (http://www.miracleblanket.com/) Cole gave us when the girl was born. It appears to be a whole lot more like a baby straight jacket than a blanket but... It worked! Tuesday she went out (all swaddled up) at 8:30 and didn't wake until almost 4am. Then she went back to sleep and slept until 6:30. Last night same thing... only in the morning she slept until after 7am! Which is almost a normal time to wake up.

So from the very depths of both mine and Max's heart, Thanks Aunt Cole!
