Baby Loves Swaddle

Maverick has some habits that are all his own, one being swaddling. He demands/requires swaddling for sleeping and napping. My other boys slept in swaddling blankets for nighttime when they were really young, but never for naps. Once they outgrew the infant swaddling blankets, that was it. Not Maverick. He will be swaddled to sleep or he will not sleep. He's outgrown the infant wraps that we like to use for nighttime, but luckily just for him the company (Halo Wraps) has finally made a 3-6 month size. YEAH!

As for naptime, I got these great Aden and Anais muslin wraps from Target that work great for swaddling. They are really thin, so he won't over heat and he loves them. You can always tell when naptime has ended because he has broken "free" and you can hear him happily sucking on his hand over the monitor.
Such a cutie pie!
Here he is as a little burrito. We'll see how long the swaddling phase lasts, but for now it's working great. I'm always wondering if he likes to be like this since he came so early and still wants that cozy feeling.
