Double Swaddle is the Winner

I have figured out that if Hannah stays in her swaddle at night time she will sleep longer. As she has gotten older she has started to move around more and has been getting out of it. So I tried for awhile to get it REALLY tight. But 3 out of 4 times she still would get out of it. Then I read somewhere about how her hands had to be at her side to keep her in the swaddle and the best way to do this was to put her hands in her pants waistband. I tried it. That did not work. Then one night earlier this week it was a cool autumn night and we had the windows open. I decided that one blanket would not be enough for her so she should have two. That night she went to bed at 8 p.m. only woke up at 2:30 and then 5:30 to eat and slept until 7. She never got out of the swaddle. I tried it again the next night. It worked again. It has been great. The double swaddle is the winner. Now I am getting a little more sleep.
