I used to stay in the nursery at church and if the babes were a little older, I would hold them really close and tight to me and they seemed to gather comfort from that. Just a feeling of security, I guess. Anyway, the real comment is your baby is beautiful. I know boys and men are handsome. Your son is beautiful, in a few months or a couple of years, he will be handsome, just as Fuller is now. Nellies last blog post..NOT NEEDED

Bob was always the swaddling king, I’ve never been able to get it right. He’d wrap the kids up so tight they went right to sleep and rarely wiggled out, well except for Nick but that’s mainly because he was too big for the blankets….LOL. With Olivia we discovered the velcro ones and they work great, even I can do it!

My boys loved being swaddled and we loved the velcro blankets…a life saver. But the third baby, our little girl, has never liked being swaddled. She was fussy in the hospital when she was first born, I think because the nurses would wrap her up so tight. Then when we got home I just laid her on our bed to sleep for a nap one day (without swaddling) and she just slept there with her arms stretched out without making a peep. That’s when the swaddling stopped. Funny how every baby is so different.

Awwww, such a cutie! Taylor loved being swaddled for about 3 weeks, then she would have none of it, now she sleeps like her daddy, arms and legs spread eagle! Hope he continues to be relaxed for you! Eves last blog post..Win $20 Fandango Bucks!

yeah our girls love(d) the “baby burrito”. if Selah manages to wiggle out at night she’ll fuss until I go re-wrap her.

We use the Kiddopotamus swaddlers (with Genevieve and now with Seth). They are the same concept, you can get them at Babies R Us and they are great. Once we swaddled G she started sleeping for longer stretches. I think because Seth is swaddled is why he is such a good sleeper. S-Gs last blog post..4 weeks!

Swaddling is great! We swaddled our daughter until she was really old (by swaddling standards). Maybe 5 months? She slept SOOO much better and we got very good at swaddling. I found that a small, lightweight fleece blanket worked better than flannel because the little bit of stretch allowed us to get her really snug. Melissa Hs last blog post..Since you asked, Wendy
