I gave up on swaddling b/c I had crappy receiving blankets that just didn't do the job.<br /><br />And I LOVE the Lansinoh ointment so I'll have to check out the soothies too. That stuff was a mess, but a lifesaver!<br /><br />And I stocked up my freezer this time too:)<br /><br />They are so cute!

We need more zipper nb sleepers so I hope that is something we receive. I do have a few and we have lots of baby gowns. Praise God!!<br /><br />I really love the idea of the positioner - so rotten about the recall.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder of them peeing through many outfits, I guess I was in a bit of denial about that one :)<br /><br />Thankfully, Leila sent us a miracle blanket. I have a feeling I might need to order another one!!Amazing Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889504637409378757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504195045693659634.post-31762189442520316262010-11-17T21:40:43.920-06:002010-11-17T21:40:43.920-06:00Thanks, evceryone!

Sew, I agree that they know very little re SIDs. I am so sorry to hear ab out your family members. I think gowns are good b/c easy to change as well, but I don't own any. I go with thick pj and thin swaddle or thin pj and thick swaddle. Amy said girls pee out less than boys, I guess I have no experience so that didn't occur to me. :)WheelbarrowRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786312554610653043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504195045693659634.post-53881838220899509262010-11-17T19:29:05.654-06:002010-11-17T19:29:05.654-06:00Your boys are so adorable!

My friend folds the diaper down in front (inside) and that has helped her son from wetting through everything. Personally, I have no experience with NB diapers but I know it worked for her.

We did that for awhile in the beginning. Don't make the mistake we made of putting him too high up and then he rolled down to the other side of the crib! Not good. <br /><br />Oh, and Childrens place has great footed zipper jammies with the snap over the zipper. I love those!

I bought one and then returned it because they're not recommended anymore. Who can keep up?! And my doc told me to swaddle him below the shoulders so that the fabric isn't near his face. <br /><br />Gosh, your boys are so adorable!
