Thanks Jessica Estes

This is a bit blurry but it shows a tight swaddle with the legs free allowing the straps to be secured through the legs. A typical swaddle encases the feet and makes it tricky to strap the baby in properly.

Our friend Jessica told me about this method and advised the tight swaddle arms in, in his swing, to get him to nap during the day. Though this type of swaddle dissolves rapidly in his bed, he doesn't seem to be able to wiggle much in his swing and he has slept over 2 hours each afternoon the last two days giving us a much needed break during the day.

Awee! Snug as a bug in a rug! Sariah was always swaddled up. I think until she was like 6 months! heheehe Okay maybe not that long but for a long time. I would like to see the new technique as a demo. Will you do a video? :)
