If many of you know Martin very well, he does not like to be swaddled. He prefers to be
cuddled/held until he falls asleep and then he like to be put on his belly to sleep. We do this routine for all sleep...naps and at night. Today, he's been a bit fussy and I thought I tried everything. I tried feeding him, changing him, rocking him to sleep...I sang...nothing worked. Elizabeth walked into his room and it dawned on me that I should try something new. I swaddled him. He hasn't been wrapped that tightly since he was born. I guess that was precisely what he wanted too. He fell right asleep within 2 minutes. It's really nice when you find a tactic that works. It still...although sometimes...works on Elizabeth too.
