The past couple of nights swaddling has been working really well. With the cloth swaddle, Eila would just get her hands out in a few minutes (or seconds). This could well be because of our lack of expertise, or just that we weren't pulling it tight enough. A couple of nights ago we tried a velcro swaddle which seemed much easier—and like magic, she stopped fussing so much at night! She is such a flailer it really seems to help calm her. As a result we've actually got some sleep the past couple of nights (1-2 hours at a time). Here's hoping she keeps it up.
