Mia has broken free of her swaddle for good. She's far too big for it now, and last night rolled over onto her tummy while swaddled. After several attempts, we know she will not sleep on her back without being swaddled, so we have fretted all day about what to do. I've done some research today and I'm going to buy a breathing monitor so I can put her to sleep on her tummy. She's also been waking up several times a night the past few nights. I wonder if she's going through another growth spurt, or if it's just the swaddle issues that's causing her to wake? We'll see how tonight goes.
Mia's not eating "real food" as heartily as I thought she would. She eats the rice cereal best, but just kind of plays around with the green beans. I have carrots, sweet potatoes and squash to try over the next few weeks, so maybe she's just not a green bean fan. I've also decided not to get her a high chair. I've seen boosters for babies her size that you attach to your kitchen chairs. They have play trays on top so the baby is occupied while you're making dinner, then you remove those when it's time to eat. They save space in the kitchen, plus they fold up so you can take them to grandparents' or a restaurant. Guess I'll buy that tonight when I'm getting the breathing monitor.

Just came from the Pediatrician . . .she says when you take the swaddle away there will be several rough nights to follow . . . so maybe that's it. We may keep him swaddled a bit longer (I ended up buying a larger size) although he breaks out of it pretty regularly becuase he's pretty strong! We have one of the boosters . . .I think you're making a good decision there! Good luck with it all! :)
