Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Thanks for the tip! Advice to those wanting to swaddle baby with DBB Hi Everyone, I've been reading all of the posts about starting out in the DBB and getting our poor babies comfortable enough to sleep. It is so hard! We had a tough time with Addison in general in the beginning - just to get her to go to sleep took massive effort! She loved to be swaddled, and with the DBB, it was very hard, until we found the Miracle Blanket. It's a very odd blanket, but it takes all of the mystery out of swaddling, and allows you to keep the legs out (or put them in if the baby is small enough) of a " pouch " - then this big piece of fabric wraps the baby snugly. It's hard to describe, so here's a link: http://www.miracleblanket.com This blanket - along with the white noise and whatever else we could think of - saved our sanity and now I'm buying them as shower gifts for my pregnant friends! It truly worked with the DBB - matter of fact, we swaddled with that darn blanket until Addison was 5 months old! She's a fantastic sleeper now (17 mo), and has been for a long time - and the DBB is just part of her normal life (as someone else mentioned). Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hello, I have to agree that the Miracle Blanket is amazing! It is the only way I could swaddle my son so he couldn't break loose. I think it will be great to use with Keira, if needed, when she has the DBB on b/c of the fact of leaving the legs out. We only bought one but I think it's worth getting two..one for wash, one for use. It really is great! Halley Re: Advice to those wanting to swaddle baby with DBB Thanks for the tip!
