Signing up for Mama & Me class right after E was born was one of the best things I could have done. Since it was such a good experience I signed up for Amma's Beyond Newborn class. Ethan and and I had our first of 6 sessions on Monday evening. So far so good - really like the other 4 mom's in the group. Ethan "talked" through most of class and kept turning his head to look at the pretty little girls - I think he is a ladies man already! A hot topic was starting swaddle detox. I knew this day was coming but Ethan was showing off and almost rolled over from front to back in class which solidified starting the process. One school of thought says that 4 months is the magic age to stop swaddling for developmental reasons. Our teacher/nurse is more along the lines of as soon as they start trying to roll over or break out of the swaddle wrap it's a safety issue and stop immediately. As you can see from the above pics E is twisting and turning and close to rolling back to tummy.
Three nights down and he has actually adjusted pretty well. The sleep sack seems to keep him cozy and while he does flail his arms it hasn't woken him up too much.
