Houdini

There is a product out that is called "Swaddle Me." They claim:
  • Wrap your baby in the comfort of the SwaddleMe® and rest assured she will sleep safe, sound and secure. The renowned SwaddleMe® soothes infants and reduces symptoms of colic by recreating the soothing snugness of the womb. It also reduces the incidence of the startle reflex, helping babies to sleep longer.
Well my brother lent me theirs so we could soothe Nicholas. For weeks we tried to use it and he'd fuss and grunt until he wore himself to sleep. Fast forward to this past week, we come into his room in the morning only hours away from his last feeding to find the Swaddle Me around his waist. This thing is pretty much a straight jacket for babies and he somehow, no matter how tight, he works his arms and legs free. Latest nickname for him is Houdini.

He's been eating a ton. According to Lindsey, all of yesterday he ate on average every hour. Before bed last night, I gave him a bottle, he downed 5 ounces. We rocked him to sleep, an hour went by, he was hungry again.

  2. a great swaddling alternative for houdini babies is the Peke Moe Sleep sack - http://www.pekemoe.co.nz, safer as it cannot get caught up around head/neck with baby wiggling.
    all the best!!!
