Baby Coming Out of Swaddle

My son is 16 weeks old. I have been swaddling him in the miracle blanket at night for bedtime since he was about 6 weeks old. I know that the miracle blanket says you should discontinue use at 14 weeks, but he is so comfortable in it and can put himself to sleep at night once he is in his blanket. Recently he has been getting his arms out of the blanket in the middle of the night and then he starts crying. Any advise? Should I stop using the miracle blanket? Should I stop swaddling? Should I find a bigger one and wrap him tighter? ...

Seeking for Vibrating Baby Monitor

Hello to all the Moms out there. I am now in my 22 weeks and I’m seeking for a vibrating baby monitor. You see I decided to stay home until my baby is in pre-school and then go to work. Because I’m going to be home a lot I’ll be doing the house chores and all that. That’s why I need a vibrating baby monitor that way I can always be alerted when my baby cries or whatever while I’m vacuuming or whatever. Another thing I should mention is that I am hearing impaired and have very little vision. The once with lights won't work for me....

Co - Sleeping

Hello my name is K., I'm a first time new mommy to a now, WONDERFUL 3 month old little boy. I believe that he had Colic until about a few weeks ago. He would cry every night from 4- 10 pm with breaks only to feed, NOTHING we did worked. Until the magical age of 2 1/2 months it was like one day EVERYTHING changed and now he hardly is fussy at all. My question is evern since he was born when we would try to place him in the bassinet to sleep he would startle himself awake and it would be impossible to get him back to sleep, so my husband and...

What Do You Really Need for an Infant?

So it's been 8 years since I last had a baby to care for. I am expecting again and am at a loss for what I really need and trying to prioritize. I have looked at many registries and think they include a lot of frivolous items (wipe warmers ect) So if you could go back in time and know then what you know now, what are your must have items. When I say I have nothing I mean not one baby item at all. I know I'll need a crib, clothes, ect. I also plan on breastfeeding, so I will need a pump for when I return to work and there are so many to...

Sensitive Infant and Sleep

Anyone out there has a sensitive infant who does not want to be held and has the most difficult time sleeping on his own. I feel bad that I can't find anything to soothe him and he is trying so hard to sleep, but he doesn't want to be held and the only thing that gets him settled is to be in a quiet place but that's not possible with an active pre-schooler. He sometimes like to nurse but it irritates his colicky tummy, and after he eats, he is not interested in nursing for comfort. It is frustrating especially after I labored to get him...

How Long Did You Swaddle Your Infant? Also, Baby Won't Take Pacifier...

My baby girl is turning 3 months on Monday - I have heard that by now we shouldn't be swaddling her anymore. She will ONLY sleep if she is wrapped up really really tight. If not, she can fall asleep but will wake up soon after drifting off and wake often during the night because her hands are free to roam up by her face --she gets frustrated & all worked up because she starts sucking on her fists. Any advice? She won't for the life of me take a pacifier because the hospital started us on giving her our pinkie finger to suck on & that is...

5 Month Old Breastfed Baby, Sleep Issues, Formula and Miracle Blanket

I think I may have a unique problem that is a combination of breastfeeding, swaddling, sleep, and sanity... My 5 month old daughter Isabella was never a great sleeper. She cluster fed from the beginning and if it wasn't for the pump I think I would have either given up breastfeeding or jumped off a bridge! A friend of mine highly recommended the miracle blanket which is sort of like a baby straightjacket. It worked in extending her sleep by an hour or two (when she only slept a couple of hours, it was very helpful) and it became...

Miracle Blanket Users - When Did You Stop Using It?

My daughter just turned 6 months old and still sleeps wrapped up tightly in her miracle blanket. Wondering when your kids wrestled free. (My oldest used Miracle blankets until about 5 months and always woke up with it sort of loosely wrapped in place until she finally broke free -- then we dropped it cold turkey. Shortly thereafter she started sleeping on her belly in a Halo.) Is there any reason for me to stop wrapping her up? I told her doc at her well baby visit that she still sleeps swaddled up tightly and he didn't bat an eye so I...
