Tonight, we tried swaddling Kaycee. We had determined that Kaycee hated to be swaddled, early in her life. On one side of the problem, she startles easily and flings her arms around wildly, which wakes her up. On the other side of the problem, she loves to suck on her fist and can't get to it when swaddled. There is no happy medium. So the result was not swaddling her.
So we tried again tonight. She didn't like it and she didn't hate it initially. Shortly after falling asleep we start her startle herself and her arms did not go flying, win! However, then she wanted to sooth back to sleep and she couldn't get to her fist, which resulted in her waking up and screaming. Lose lose situation... We need a good solution to get her to sleep longer in the bassinet and eventually the crib.
My prayer for today is that Kaycee learns to sooth and fall back asleep quickly!
