THE NEWBORN SHUFFLE – Everyday we shuffling!!!
My little soccer star worked out his muscles so much that he can wiggle, shimmy and roll out of a swaddle. I kid you not (pun intended). I asked our pediatrician about this and he looked at me… then the baby… then my mom and said, ” He did what?”. Apparently newborns are not supposed to be able to roll over. So because I am a worrier I immediately went to Target to find a ‘sleep sack’ for him to be in at night so I don’t have to worry about him covering himself up with a swaddle blanket and suffocating. He can hold his head up with his little arms and look at us during tummy time on our chests- my little man has upper arm strength and pretty good control of his neck!
ANNDDDDDDD
Hoorayy for the sleep sack! Talk about piece of mind. The Baby still feels like he is swaddled- with more movement possible- without the inherent risk of SIDS. Thankgoodness! <3 After realizing that these worked we promptly went out and bought three more- because late night changes sometimes result in leakage issues. Oh and by the way- my Baby has no butt. Which makes two out of the three diaper brands we have inconsequential because the stuff literally slides back and isn’t stopped by his little bum- resulting in stressful(for him) outfit changes. Pampers is the only brand that works currently… our cloth diapers and plastic pants are too big for him and his little legs so far, but I am looking forward to using them in the future as soon as he ‘fills out’.
