When Thomas was born we spent $60 on two new miracle blankets. These supposedly magic blankets were supposed to mimic the womb by enclosing the baby in a something resembling a straight jacket – basically the easy way to swaddle. Thomas wasn’t into it. The little houdini would wiggle his way out of it as soon as we wrapped him up. It seemed to keep him awake more than calm him. Well apparently every baby is different and our boys are like chalk and cheese. Samuel has taken to it quite nicely. Not sure it’s the miracle it purports to be but so far so good.
