The boys have always slept being swaddled. They love it. We have the "miracle blankets" which we call the straight jacket!! They wrap around their arms and keep them straight down at their side and then another piece of fabric wraps around their whole body. I haven't been brave enough to give them up entirely but now that they are rolling over I think it is getting close! This was my first successful attempt at nap w/o blankets! They fussed alot more than usual but they did it! They don't sleep as long so will definantly take some practice. A little at a time - I'm not ready to miss anymore sleep!!!
