Baby Houdini!!!

[MummaSue]

Hey guys,

I swaddle little one for naps and bedtime. The thing is, this past week she has been like a baby Houdini and has gotten herself out of it - I have no idea how because I wrap her very well!! Hehe, DH and I have even made up a silly song that we sing to her when we see that she has gotten out of her wrap and she cracks up laughing at us
She still needs to be wrapped though as she sleeps sooooooooo well when she is - when she is out of a wrap she ends up punching herself in the head and waking herself up as she is such a wriggler!!

Any ideas? I have seen these baby sleeping bag things but most of them don't seem to have any kind of wrap around the arms, does anyone know of any that arms can be secured?

Thanks so much!!

I loved my Woombie for that exact reason. Google it to see a picture. Helped my little mans sleeping heaps.

We have a miracle blanket - have used it since DS was 2 months - now he is nearly 11 months! Love it - so easy to use and holds him in really well. He loves it too. You can use a sleeping bag with them as well. TheSleepStore have a sale on some designs at the moment if you want to see what they are like

We use the Kiddopotamus wraps here which u can get at Baby Bunting, Babies R Us and BBy Gallery for about $20-$30. I got my newborn one as a gift, and loved it so much, I had to get the next size up for DD. So quick and easy to use, even DH can do it!

can you use a cot sheet, folded in half. Lay her on top of it then kind of wrap it around her arms and then around her body? Not sure how well it would work...but there are some special wraps you can get where you can wrap their arms and then the whole wrap goes around their body if you wanted to invest in something specially made for it.

I was going to suggest a cot sheet too, or a bigger wrap.

I love my woombies. They have been such a help! Definitely a good buy.
