I feel so bad and am always telling hubby to make sure its not too tight, he's the pro swaddler cause I make mine too loose! So glad you're getting some sleep finally. We did the co-sleeping the first couple nights home from the hospital, which on one hand I loved snuggling with her but also needed my sleep too. Totally hear ya you don't realize how bad you need it until you actually get some! Now I just pull her into bed with me after our morning feeding when hubby goes to work, and we snuggle all morning!! LOVE it!Basic Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03949810121076136586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298411258302505954.post-11303413548509149042011-02-07T10:40:34.756-08:002011-02-07T10:40:34.756-08:00Yay four hours of sleep!!!!

I do so because he sleeps for 8 hours when I do! I let him nap without the swaddle so he can learn so stay asleep when he flings his arms around, but he still wakes up a lot. I'm nervous about when to make the switch from swaddling to un-swaddling but for now....he sleeps so I sleep!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406591702871726587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298411258302505954.post-46721920541922230432011-02-05T14:59:55.032-08:002011-02-05T14:59:55.032-08:00WooHoo on getting more sleep!

But out of desperation, we got some of the swaddle me blankets at Target. The first night I tried it sounds exactly like your night with your baby. It was glorious! Now Alex sleeps for one 7 hour stretch and one 4 hour stretch with only waking up once in the night. It's fabulous!! I hope she keeps on sleeping better and better for you. One day these babies will STTN for us.FirstTimeMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381766250070902117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298411258302505954.post-82500728487853612342011-02-05T09:43:10.164-08:002011-02-05T09:43:10.164-08:00I've heard such great things about the miracle...I've heard such great things about the miracle blanket.

Good for you!
I will admit....it's ...Yay momma!<br />Good for you!<br />I will admit....it's been the same for us. Little Sloan loves to cuddle with her mama and gets the best sleep that way. But the other night, I broke out our Swaddle Me blanket that is almost the same as the one you have. And yes! She slept for 4 hours! And after feeding, another 4!<br />Regular swaddling didn't work for us either because she loves to have her arms free but the Swaddle Me keeps her in so tight, it's awesome!Rilee Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546643712961040260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298411258302505954.post-50483767163076791722011-02-04T12:39:25.282-08:002011-02-04T12:39:25.282-08:00Your first paragraph is exactly how I feel. The fi...Your first paragraph is exactly how I feel. The first week and a half I was not tired AT ALL. I would get like 3-4 hours a day if I was lucky. At night when she was asleep I would watch tv because I wasn't tired. Now I'm starting to come down off that high.<br /><br />I have been loosely swaddling her....but not the arms. She is an arm flailer...but at night it doesnt seem to bother her too much. She sleeps for about 2.5-3.5 hour stretches at night now so it isn't too bad. Last night I got out a Swaddle Me blanket and put her in it. I didnt have the heart to keep her in it though. Her arms were stuck to her sides and it made me feel awful. I know it won't hurt her...but I couldnt handle it. I had to take it off her. I kept thinking I was constricting her breathing. If her hands start waking her up in the middle of the night then I will try it again though. Like I said before I know the blanket won't hurt her...but it is a mommy guilt issue with me I guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298411258302505954.post-18647618135423112072011-02-04T11:41:48.400-08:002011-02-04T11:41:48.400-08:00so glad you found something that gets you more sle...so glad you found something that gets you more sleep!
