The Burrito Wrap is Broken

It's probably not uncommon to call a swaddled baby a "Burrito." At least that's what my family is calling it.

Swaddling is an age-old practice of wrapping infants snugly in swaddling cloths, blankets or similar cloth so that movement of the limbs is tightly restricted. Swaddling bands were often used to further restrict the infant. It was commonly believed that this was essential for the infants to get a proper posture. But we are mainly use it to wrap him tight so that he won't be kicking the blanket away to get cold.

But this Burrito Wrap really doesn't work anymore. He arms have been fighting his way through the wrap and his shoulders would eventually be exposed during his sleep.




While he was nursing at midnight last night, he relieved himself with a series of loud sounds. It went like "boop boop boop boop booooooooooooop!" We knew what was coming, but we couldn't take him away until he was done nursing. I sometimes took the opportunity to take a short nap while he was nursing. After a short nap about 20 to 30 min, I went to change his diaper... Wow! He was lying on the side for so long that a little poo poo leaked through his right leg and his back. Some got on to his undershirt! Ugh... And yes, we did the laundry today.

Onesies only lasted Sebby for 2 weeks. He's now wearing size 3 months now.
