Epic Battle Day 1

The Mission: A good nights sleep without a swaddle.
The Reason: Molly is perilously close to rolling over while swaddled.

The Result Night #1: Took an additional 1 hour and 15 minutes to get her to sleep and required us physically holding her arms down.  She was awake during the night an extra 2 hours.  Had her usual one feeding in the middle of the night and didn't get out of bed until an hour later (10:00am) than usual.

It seems like the biggest problem is actually getting her back to sleep.  She doesn't seem to be waking up more often than usual, she is just more angry when she wakes up and won't go back to sleep easily.

Separate from the swaddle situation, she has recently been requesting to sleep in bed with us.  And by requesting I mean she won't accept her bink and go back to sleep unless she is in our bed...at which point she takes it immediately and falls asleep.

In other sleeping news...she is down to a speed setting of 3 on the swing for her daytime naps.

This was our conversation this morning:
