First things first. I am so happy to say that Lizzy likes to be swaddled! The first few times Dave and I tried to do it, she would just cry and fuss, but then last night I watched "The Happiest Baby on the Block" (also a book) and in it, the Dr. said that babies usually fuss when being swaddled, then calm down shortly after. I tried it. I swaddled Lizzy really well and after her 2ND yawn I put her in her bed. I had to "SHHHH" her for just a minute, till she was calm again. Then I left the room and she went to sleep on her own!!! Not only did she fall asleep on her own, she slept for 4 1/2 hours! After she and I took Dave to class at 4:30am, I fed her, changed her diaper, swaddled again, then put her down while still awake....she fell asleep on her own again! AND slept for another 4 hours! I feel great and rested! We really do have an angel baby.
Here is a video of her playing and looking so cute.
