Good Time Swaddle Time
Feb 6, 2010
Let me just say this…I love a good swaddle. Wait, not on me, on the baby. But maybe I should ask BD to swaddle me later on the living room floor with the couch blanket. Oooo that sounds hot…if by couch blanket I meant weiner. Ew, I said weiner. Anyway swaddling is magical in that, in many cases, it puts your baby right to sleep. Fortunately Lola is pretty much the chillest baby ever but, sometimes I can just tell it’s time for a nap even though she’s kinda thrashing her arms about, that’s when I know it’s swaddle time. I go for my best stretchy soft cotton baby blanket and basically mummify her (except her head). I’m not even exaggerating when I say, once I’m done, I look away and then back and she’s asleep. I wish it worked on Fritz. That would rule.
I am assuming that you do not roll the baby like you would a rolling pin?! I can’t read the copy on my blackberry, but I am taking a guess.
I am alll about the swaddle. Hendrix eventually got too strong and could kick his way out of it so I bought the swaddlers with the velcro and we still use them. He just keeps an arm out so he can suck on his hand.
This made me think of how I would call my baby a burrito every time I swaddled her. I’ve kept a couple of my favorite swaddling blankets that she doesn’t fit in anymore
time is flying…
up until last week i still swaddled liv every night in one of those velcro ones. its by kiddopotamus and its made with bamboo fabric or whatever. sent from heaven.
swaddling rules. @nessienessa - why’d you block me on twitter??

Just discovered ur blog the other day and am loving it! Not a mom yet, but working on it … probably in a few hours, actually! This post absolutely cracked me up, so I had to comment:
“But maybe I should ask BD to swaddle me later on the living room floor with the couch blanket. Oooo that sounds hot…if by couch blanket I meant weiner. Ew, I said weiner.”
