Swaddle Free

Sleeping on your back has become so passé.  That is what Nat seems to think.  You might think that too if you had to sleep on your back for three months straight with no ability to turn over.

Last night, about to be woken up for his 11:30 meal

Nat was not quite three months old when we first discovered him sleeping on his stomach.  The event sent us into a panic attach because we were still fully swaddling him for the night.  (If you don't understand why we would be worried, imagine yourself lying on your stomach with your arms tied to your sides.  And if that is not uncomfortable enough, imagine you have relatively little coordination or neck and shoulder strength...) 

Fast forward a couple of weeks.  After struggling through different variations of swadding, we decided to set the kid free and let him sleep without any blankets.  So far Nat has been found sleeping on his stomach every morning and by the end of almost every nap.
