I Cannot Be Restrained

I get wrapped up,
But I get out again
I ain't never gonna be restrained.

(tune to the chorus of Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping")

As mentioned in a previous post, Little Bird needs to be securely swaddled to sleep well. But she is also quite good at escaping. We tried multiple special blankets, none of which were successful. In the end we have just been using two flannel blankets going in opposite directions. Even this in not 100% Little Bird proof though.

She starts out like this, nice and snug and comfy.

But sometimes she finds a way out. Sometimes she just gets the blankets loose enough to wiggle.

Sometimes one arm will escape. Or maybe both.

The craziest is when the swaddle is still intact and she has found a way to squeeze herself out the top of not only the blankets but also the neck of her pajamas. Once in a while we find her with the pajamas and swaddle down around her waist. I think that if it wasn't for the bulk of her diaper, she would scoot completely out of them.
