Runner - we use a miracle blanket and it works a treat as Caleb is very strong and gets out of any wrap we have, we cant use anything else but this one. I would say buy one of each, if they both work then fantastic, if one doesnt then you havent wasted heaps on buying two of the same thing that doesnt work (you need at least two for the days you need to wash one)
Runner: Sounds like Amara is starting to sleep well at night, what a good girl!! Dash has Gaviscon with every bottle....without it he vomits. The Zantac simply takes the acidity out of the vomit (but not stop it) iykwim. You should notice a difference very quickly, Amara will be happier on it. As for wraps, Dash uses the Kidopotamus Swaddleme like you suggested. He cannot get out of it - unless he learns how to use his little fingers to undo the velcro lol! Used them on DD as well.
Dash is in a Medium and is 5.5kg if that helps. He can still fit in a small swaddled under the arms which is how he likes it anyway.....he still likes to wave his arms around. They are great because you can change their nappy without unwrapping them and they come in cotton and fleece. We have used this swaddle from day 1 in hospital with both bubs. Dash is now only swaddled at night....this is his night sleep cue. They are hard to find though (well around here anyway) but I know ebay have a heap up for auction (with different designs that you can't get in the shops). Don't know anything about the miracle wrap like Jo suggested (sounds similar though???) but hope that helps.
ETA: About sitting up after a feed......I find I don't need to do that much with Dash anymore as long as he has had his Gaviscon. After 3 weeks, I can now put him down almost straight away if I need/want to. I also add Infacol to each bottle to help with wind so I don't need to tap his back...it comes up on its own now. Hopefully you will notice a big difference too!! Good luck Amara and Runner!! xx
