The Swaddle
While I was chilling at the hospital by myself for so many hours, I discovered some health videos on demand and watched most of them. Among advice on recovery I found a video based on the book The Happiest Baby on the Block. The take away for me, were the 5 S's-swaddle, sway, shh, swing and suck. We are firm believers in the swaddle and suck and have come to adapt the shh and sway as well.
In this picture Norah is swaddled twice. Her little arms are always busting out causing her to startle herself, but with the double swad, as we have come to refer to it, her arms are totally pinned and she is as happy as can be!
