Straight jackets are welcome here

The miracle blankets have arrived at my house, many thanks are due to a fellow twin mother who suggested (and provided!) them. :-) They bear a slight resemblance to straight jackets, and when bundled up Jackson and Genevieve look a little bit like mummies... I think they like them though!? The design is ingenious. There are two flaps on the inside, you wrap each arm in one and tuck the extra material under their backs. Then you fold up the leg pouch to trap the little legs, and then you take the two outer flaps and wrap them around and around and around - until they're so snug that they know resistance is futile!


We're only on day 2 with the miracle wraps, but so far I'm impressed. It still took the twinks a little while to drift off to sleep land, and I had to reinsert the baby plugs a few times until they made it there. However, once asleep, they slept peacefully next to each other in their crib for over 3 hrs. Perfect! This is wonderful. I hope they think so too. They slept swaddled in the new blankets from 12-3, and then they had a break to sleep with Mom and Dad from 3-7. They slept in the blankets again from 7-10. We'll see how tonight goes.
