Our kids weren't much for swaddling. They were little houdinis, escaping from the tightest wrap. Until now.
Caleb is a total tummy sleeper. At 6 weeks we started placing him on his belly to get the best sleep possible. This wasn't without downfall, however. It takes alot of time and trying to get him to sleep on his back. But we are determined to have a kid who can sleep no matter what position.
Enter the swaddle.
Josh swaddled the little guy in Sunday afternoon to hold him still when the "falling reflex" tries to take over. It worked for about an hour. But that's when the heat kicked in. Caleb warmed up and became very unhappy in this get-up.
Something just doesn't look right with this big boy all wrapped up in a cocoon.
I'm also looking forward to getting past the stage where he rolls on his back and wakes up. Like last night. At 4am! Can someone teach him to roll a complete 360? Josh swaddled him again last night, but this time it was only effective for about 15 minutes.

That is a SERIOUS swaddle! Josh has mad skillzzzzz yo!
Caleb looks like Houdini. I love these pictures.
Sam could always swaddle way better/tighter than me. He actually did the double swaddle....once with one of the velcro swaddle blankets and on top of that he did a large, thin swaddle blanket. Funny the things we'll do to get them to sleep.
