So Jane had her 4 month check up on Monday and the doctor said I needed to start thinking of training her to sleep not in her swaddle! I was so sad about that because ever since we have swaddled her she sleeps all through the night and it’s been wonderful getting good sleep. So Monday night we quit cold turkey and it was seriously awful. She woke up at 1, 3, 5, and 7 and then we finally swaddled her so I could get some sleep and she slept so well when we did that. Then Tuesday because she had an awful nights rest both Jane and I were in awful moods. She cried and was needy all day and I also found out she is at the beginning stages of teething so all of that put together I knew we needed to swaddle her Tuesday night. But I decided we would put her to bed without it and then when she woke up again to put her in the swaddle. Well she woke up at 10:30 so we swaddled her and she slept through the night again. We did that again Wednesday night and then today I did some research because my girl loves her swaddle. So TONIGHT we are trying a different method. She starts falling asleep at around 9:30 so at 9:30 we put her in her bed in the swaddle but with just 1 arm out and 1 arm in. Within minutes she was asleep and I really hope this is the answer because I want my baby to be happy but also learn how to sleep without the swaddle! Anyway, I’m feeling so blessed to have my little family and thanks for reading this little novel.
My healthy growing girl!
The day before but an illustration of what we are aiming for eventually. Haha
The one arm in one arm out method we tried tonight that so far is working like a charm!

I love this view!
Bella and Jane playing!
It’s been too cold to go on walks so Bella has to entertain herself sometimes.
