Get Your Baby to Sleep Like a Baby
Why Sleep Sacks Save the Day … & Night
In the early days at home with a newborn, most people prefer to swaddle their babies for naps or overnight sleep sessions, as it's one of the only ways many babies will get comfortable enough to fall asleep—and stay asleep—aside from contact snoozing in the arms of a parent or caregiver (which, don't get me wrong, is nice, but just isn't sustainable). Swaddling your baby will get you...
