It's not that Reagan is a bad sleeper, but it's really great to sleep a whole night through. She had been waking up every morning around 4, but generally was sleeping well. Since she's getting older, we feel like we shouldn't wrap her up as much, but she's not quite ready for not being wrapped at all. So, for the last few nights, we have been swaddling Reagan, but leaving one arm out. This has been great for us and she seems to be okay with it, too. Each of the last two mornings, we have had to wake her up around 7am to get our day going.
Yes, we do put her to sleep on her back, as recommended by all pediatric professionals, but she figured out how to flip herself over and spin 90 degrees. And, she found her thumb, which was clearly why she was sound asleep at 7am and why she didn't wake us up at 4am. We'll continue with this one-arm strategy until she seems to be ready for something else.
