So it's official, Spencer at almost 4 months has graduated, no more swaddling! Spencer absolutely loved to be swaddled and I like to think that is what really helped him sleep through the night so early. So, needless to say I thought the minute that we took the swaddle away we would kiss sleep goodbye. At nearly 4 months, he was growing close to not being able to be swaddled any longer and we thought it was time to give sleeping a try without it even if it meant less sleep for us all.
We started out one week ago today and I am happy top report complete SUCCESS! Now we just use a sleep sack as a "blanket" and sometimes for naps, we use nothing at all!
For a milestone that I feared so much, Spencer did great and we are glad to put the swaddle behind us for now.

Look Mom! No SWADDLE!
It's funny that he still sleeps with his arms down by his side as if he were still swaddled! So precious!
