Here's one example: by the time that Colin was three weeks old, I was an expert at swaddling him in his blanket so that his arms were tightly tied together. We're told that this is supposed to calm the child because it is a similar experience to the womb (although some people disagree). I tried multiple times to swaddle Mikaela over the last few days and this is the fruit of my efforts. As you can see, she's clearly tightly tied up!</p>Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647480286638233302.post-9591256326885112962007-05-14T01:47:00.001-07:002007-05-14T01:47:06.144-07:00<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000;
