Me!! I just tried it!

Jasmine seems to get grizzly during the morning and stays that way right through til the evening. She is fine most of the time, but this afternoon she was just crying and crying. I just came in here for a break from the crying and opened your thread up by chance!

Im SOOOOO glad I did!

I feel so stupid but sometime over the last week I must have stopped swaddling her. I cant believe I stopped and I didnt notice! Maybe because normally she settles quite easily, and sleeps really well but this afternoon she has been very unsettled ](*,)

Anyway so I just went out and wrapped her with her arms down (they usually end up next to her head, but I did it pretty tight like I did in hospital) and then I put her on her side, and was doing the "shush" quite loudly .... when I was trying to find a comfortable side position, I looked at her and she was sound asleep LOL :sleeping: (she is still sleeping too)

Im so unbelievably happy. She must have dropped off in under 2 minutes of being wrapped with arms down. THANKYOU SO MUCH!

Now Im wondering if this is the reason why she has all of a sudden stopped liking sleep in her cradle, and preferring to sleep in her rocker!! The rocker obviously snuggles her in tight, whereas the cradle doesnt. I could KICK MYSELF, but at the same time give you Nadine a huge hug! Ive never heard of this 5 theory before, but Im going to do it consistently and let you know, but for it to work so fast after just one go, Im sold!!

Thankyou :flower: Ive printed this out, and now I know I wont forget again. I love this statement. Its going to be my new mantra LOL!!
