How Long Do You Swaddle??

Hi all... I am a mother of two twin girls who are 10 weeks old. They are wonderful and we are so close to getting them to sleep through the night. We use the miracle blanket when they sleep at night and it basically gives them a very tight swaddle. I think that they sleep well because of the security that the swaddle gives them. My question is, how long do you swaddle them? With all the information about SIDS I don't want to just put them in the crib with a blanket however I don't want to have them get cold as winter approaches. ...

Back to Work - Two Baby Questions Feeding and Sleeping

I am Mom to a 20 month old and a 3 month old. I am now back to work. My husband is taking vacation to be at home with the baby for 3 weeks and we are having some major problems getting him to take the bottle. Until now he has breast-fed great. He took a bottle about 4 times while I was on maternity leave (the last few times the sitter said he was fussy but I did not think too much about it since he took it great at 4 weeks old). Now... for 5 days last week he drank less than an ounce ALL DAY (7am til 6pm) for my husband. I am pumping...

5 Month Old Breastfed Baby, Sleep Issues, Formula and Miracle Blanket

I think I may have a unique problem that is a combination of breastfeeding, swaddling, sleep, and sanity... My 5 month old daughter Isabella was never a great sleeper. She cluster fed from the beginning and if it wasn't for the pump I think I would have either given up breastfeeding or jumped off a bridge! A friend of mine highly recommended the miracle blanket which is sort of like a baby straightjacket. It worked in extending her sleep by an hour or two (when she only slept a couple of hours, it was very helpful) and it became...

My Baby Has Colic

Hey guys, I have a 5 week old with colic. I am breastfeeding him, and have tried taking out dairy, spicy foods, raw veggies and caffine. Nothing has helped. I have tried gas drops and that doesn't do anything either. He is on medication and it helps with his acid reflux... but he is still so irritable at night. He is very fussy at night, I have heard that there is nothing you can do about colic... we have started a routine with a bath at night to try to calm him... I have also heard something about the miracle blanket, do you know anything...

Swaddlegate - the Unswaddling of My 4 Month Old

My baby will turn 4 months in a week. For the past 3 weeks, he's been busting out of every swaddle we have tried for him. The miracle blanket, the Snug and Tug, the Kiddapotamus, etc. He doesn't bust out of it necessarily, but he figures out a way to wiggle one or both arms out. When he was 3 months old, we tried unswaddling him for several nights and he was completely overtired because his startle reflex would usually keep him awake. So we ditched that idea after 5 days and 4 nights of barely any sleep. But now, he busts out...
