Swaddle

Dear Luke,

Daddy and I have been wondering when it would be time to wean you from your swaddle.  Last night you rolled over on to your stomach in your swaddle after we put you to bed because you were so wiggly.  This can be dangerous for babies who are swaddled because it's not the recommended sleep position and you wouldn't be able to roll back over without the use of your arms.  Daddy turned you onto your back and we decided I'd start the weaning process today.  This morning you took a nap with one arm out and did fine.

Right now, you are napping with both arms out and seem to be fine!  You woke up at one point, but appear to have gone back to sleep.  The past 3 mornings you have woken up around 5:20 to eat.  I wonder if being swaddled had anything to do with it and if being able to suck on your hands tonight will help you.  Or, it may be time to start rice cereal.  We will see how it goes tonight.  You are growing up so fast!

Love,
Mommy
