Having read recently all the stuff about swaddling (just before giving
birth myself) I found myself thinking about it a LOT as I pulled Nyssa's
fists away from her mouth for the umteenth time when trying to nurse
her.  It was tempting to do, but I didn't and she's slowly learning to
nurse without trying to shove her fists down her throat in order to get
food in to her !  ;-)

However, I must be blessed (well, I *am*, but...) because she is a
fairly "easy" baby and is easily soothed most of the time (though she
does love her marathon nursing sessions in the evening, just when
Sandrine should also be going to bed...:-().  ;-)
