Sleeping Situation


1. Bright is no longer sleeping in his cradle because we found him with his arm stuck out of the side. We moved him into his crib and therefore his nursery earlier this week.

2. Bright dropped his middle of the night feeding the last few nights, so Mom and Dad are getting a bit more sleep. We're hoping to keep it this way.

3. Bright is sleeping without a swaddle now mostly because he was always kicking out of it. We use the zipper blanket thingy now (pictured above). Have you heard of the swaddling controversy? My mom heard from a few nurses at the local hospital that they're debating it and that the staff can't agree...obviously it helps infants sleep, but apparently it can cause shallow breathing that could lead to suffocation. Have you heard anything?

4. Bright has started to take a couple short naps during the day, so Mom can get a bit more done like write this post.

Cute new picture at the top of the blog! Great updates...I haven't heard the swaddling controversy, but thought swaddling was THE BEST thing with Henry...we did it forever...he loved it. I may have to read up on it now. Hmm...

Glad you are getting more sleep at night and a little free time during the day! Yeah!!
