I’m getting really frustrated with the 4am swaddle fails. We aren’t doing anything differently…so the swaddle is either too small (?), she’s just more active and able to escape (moreso than when she was a newborn), or she isn’t sleeping through the night anymore and is waking up on her own and THEN getting out of the swaddle.
It’s just frustrating because the mornings she sleeps through until 6:30-7, she’s still completely secure in her swaddle. Every time she’s up in the middle of the night (always around 4-4:30) she’s out of the swaddle…
We have a Miracle Blanket (swaddle) we can try, but it didn’t work for Owen (or we just couldn’t ever get it on tight enough) so I don’t have high hopes for using it on Katie. We have a brand new type ordered and it will be here next week…
I know I should still be thankful for five straight hours of sleep at this age (especially compared to Owen)…but it’s hard since I KNOW the little bugger CAN sleep longer.
