All Wrapped Up

I can't say for certain that the swaddling is the reason that Finwe now sleeps so well for naps and at night, but it certainly appears to help.

We had stopped swaddling him a few weeks after his birth because he didn't seem to need it. I resumed swaddling him when despite a good nail trimming he did a admirable job scratching up his face. I decided that swaddling him would help. Interestingly, he also calmed and fell asleep on his own that day. So, I kept up the swaddling for all sleeping times. He hasn't fallen asleep on his own anymore, but he does sleep longer when he does nap. Plus, many days I no longer have to wear him strapped to me. At night when he wakes and he doesn't need to eat, I just reswaddle his escaped hand or arm. He goes right back to sleep. Yipee!!!


Here's another cool part. When he wakes up, he's happy. As evident in this photo.
