Harvey said to Jay, and I listened in: "4) Regarding swaddling - Let's just differ on that point for now...and feel free to refer to me all your families who deeply love their babies and but are exhausted and sleep deprived and those whose babies persistently cry." How about if we tell parents what swaddling is good for and let them decide? I swaddled my babies until it no longer worked for them. It was different with each of them, but when swaddling seemed to make them *more* uncomfortable, I quit. My husband did it longer than I did, probably in order to settle a baby in a way differently than I did. I think the reason many parents don't swaddle is those darned carseats. As I learned with my first, you can't safely install a swaddled baby into a carseat. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
