So many new baby items in the past couple of years since my first born arrived. Prior to Val’s birth the good folks over at Nested Bean contacted me about a new product called the Zen Swaddle. LOL 🙂 Don’t worry, she wasn’t harmed…more like snug as a bug in a rug! My husband was starting to swaddle her so tight that she looked like she was in a baby straight jacket! The blankets were getting bigger and bigger from being stretched out. One way or another she would find a way to wiggle a hand or entire arm out and then boom!…awake! Time after time we would undo the swaddled blanket and repeat. There was one thing about using a blanket that was always a struggle though…keeping her little arms tucked inside. We registered for tons of “swaddling” blankets and when G was born we wrapped her up like a little burrito all the time. With my first born we were instructed, by one of the many classes we took prior to her birth, to swaddle, swaddle, swaddle! Swaddling has been something moms and dads have been doing for ages. My second daughter was born just a few weeks ago so I pretty much consider myself an expert in lack of sleep. Sure, it’s a blessing and miracle, but during those first few weeks its hard to keep that in perspective when you are so sleep deprived.
