After a few harrowing days and nights of little to no sleep, we found that swaddling Lily tightly helps her to sleep better. We read a book on colic, crying and sleeping that instructed us on how to do a very tight swaddle. It even mentioned that one couple would tape the blanket, once their baby was swaddled, to prevent it from coming loose. We tried it and it worked great. Lily's nightly ritual now is to get her diaper changed, swaddle her, tape her in, eat, then go to bed. It was about 3 a.m. when I tried it for the first time--Adam, who had been sleeping, was a little confused when he saw me standing over Lily, with a strip of packing tape in hand.

Oh my goodness! That is hilarious! Very ingenious. I'm glad you found something that is helping you both get some sleep and by the way, she just keeps getting cuter and cuter.
That is so funny--I'll have to remember that next time:). That's such a great picture:). She is so cute. I hope you have many more nights of a bit more sleep!
