I am happy to announce that finally, Ari no longer needs to be restrained to sleep! For the first five to six months of his life he could NOT sleep with out being swaddled. He would wake up himself multiple times, by knocking himself in the face, rubbing his eyes or startling himself.
We tried many different swaddling “devices” and I’ll share with you, which of the four is my favorite. We did attempt to swaddle him with a normal swaddle blanket, but every time Ari would wake for a feeding (which was often) he needed to be re-swaddled and he thought it was time to play– That wasn’t ok.
