At our pediatrician's recommendation, we decided it was time for Iver to transition from swaddles to sleep sacks. This might not sound like a big deal, but it sort of was -- at least to me. Since the day he was born, we have swaddled him every time he slept (unless he was in the car seat, of course). He's been a great sleeper so far -- knock on wood -- and I'm sure the swaddling had something to do with it.
But as he's getting older and more likely to roll over (which he hasn't done yet), it's apparently somewhat dangerous to let him stay swaddled in case he flips himself over and couldn't get back. Hence, the switch to sleep sacks. So far, Iver continues to be a rock star baby sleeper so I suppose he wasn't the swaddles after all. Still, I think I'll hold onto them just for me.
