Swaddling

So... Apparently the boys do like to be swaddled! We swaddled them in the hospital and for the first week or so but then came to the conclusion that they didnt like it. Now here we are at 7/4 weeks old ( actual age/due date age) and they've been sleeping like crap. We're kind if at our wits end with their sleep, tried swaddling again and it seems to wor well! Granted, it's just the first nap we've tried but the results are strong. Looking forward to tonight to see his it goes!

We just started really reading up on Wiessbluth this week. We probably should have done this sooner so could have prepared for this time a little better. At least we're starting the drowsy but awake thing early. I think that if we knew more about sleep training with Andrew he would have had his skills earlier. He didn't sleep through the night considtantly until 16 months and wasn't putting himself down until 3 months after that. We simply can't do that with the twins. There aren't enough hours in the day!

Once we reach 9/6 weeks the sleep schedules should start to normalize. Greatly looking forward to that!
