Busting Out!

Recently Cooper has been busting out of his swaddle wrap more than ever! He will not stay wrapped. We've tried putting him to sleep without the wrap, leaving his arms out, but that hasn't been going too well. This video was taken two minutes after Cooper was very tightly wrapped up and placed in his crib. The video is dark but you can see his crib toy going on and off. I can't believe he busted out so quickly. Since he has learned to turn on and off his crib toy it doesn't put him to sleep any more. If you turn the volume up you can hear him clicking the button on and off.





This is a picture of Cooper not sleeping for a nap. He was placed in his crib tightly wrapped and again within a few minutes he busted out completely, arms, legs and all. During this process he lost a sock, and began chewing on the Velcro straps. We don't understand how he can manage to do this all within a few minutes of being put in his crib almost sound asleep.

Since he keeps busting out of his swaddle wrap we have again been trying to put him to sleep without swaddling him. Today he slept a total of 20 minutes from 10am-8pm! Paul had to handle most of this all by himself because I had to work half day. I'm so sorry Paul had handle this alone. It made for a very long, tiring, grumpy day for everyone. Anyone have idea on how to get him to sleep without swaddling him or how to get him to stay swaddled?
