Swaddle

Lily has slept in a fleece swaddle that velcros since she came home from the hospital. The first two weeks of her life, she lived in that swaddle.

It keeps her warm at night and nice and snug. But, she was growing out of it. Big time.

With that... last night she slept sans the swaddle. We opted for a fleece sleep sack, instead.

I was nervous. Why fix something that isn't broken, right? Would she sleep the same without her beloved, snuggly swaddle? Would she cry for an hour before she fell asleep? I almost didn't go through with it but I knew that someday she wouldn't need it any longer and that day was quickly approaching.

She was fine, went right to sleep without a peep until 7:45 this morning.

Our little baby is growing up. No more swaddle! I now will pack it up in a storage bin, not to be used until the next wee one comes along.
