the miracle of the swaddle

I’m not gonna lie, babies get fussy and they get real fussy. As a new Momma all you want to do is calm your sweet little one back to a tranquil baby state that you dreamed of for 9 long months.

I rented The Happiest Baby on the Block from the library, if you are a new mom and you have not seen this (or read the book), you must see/read it! (the New Hanover County library has one copy) I’m thinking of investing in a copy for myself for the sheer amazement of the simple truths in this dvd.

The dvd itself is maybe cheesy at times (see DUDU) and makes you think this Harvey guy is some type of baby whisperer, if you see him swaddle these babies and instantly stop crying, your frustration level rises, when you are having to pause the video just to calm your screaming baby.

Somehow, someway Jeremy mastered the swaddle one morning at 3am when Liam refused to quiet down. It’s a tiny little miracle to see Liam sleeping so well and not awakened by his startled hand movements.
