On Rigley's five month post I had mentioned we had our issues with his sleeping habits. On Monday, this past Monday I had enough and decided to give in and get a swaddling wrap. Rigley has this thing about rubbing his head and playing with his hair, much like Tucker did and still does. However, Rigley keeps rubbing his head until his little nails cut his head. Last week he had like around 8 little cuts on the top of his head. When we would lay him down he would continue to rub his face and head until it would make him mad. Well, now we don't have that problem because we are swaddling him. I know he is doing everything a little backwards. Usually you swaddle newborns but he is deciding to change that trend a little. Monday night he slept until 2 then got up to eat then was swaddled and back to sleep. Tuesday night he slept until 3:30 then up to eat then was swaddled and back to sleep then back up at 7 to eat then unswaddled and back to sleep til 9. Wednesday night he had some tummy issues so he didn't sleep well, swaddled or not. His long nap in the afternoon we swaddle him for but not for his short morning/evening naps. He doesn't seem to mind it at all and is sleeping great.
