OK I'm missing something, so can someone fill me in? Helping
these little ones develop normally in all its dimensions
is the job of the nurses in the NICU, so they're not saving
time by swaddling in this way, they're just not doing their
job.
Sometimes I have to remind myself of that in my role
as mother, too. I'm not saving time by taking certain
short cuts, I'm not doing my job of helping my kids grow
into healthy, independent, helpful people.
