turned on medium all night long. (It helped me to sleep,
too!)
Everything worked so well that I continued the routine
until one night, when Wyatt was six months old, I skipped
putting him in his cocoon and still enjoyed a deep,
beautiful sleep.”

I never would have believed it, but wrapping was the
key to everything! Our first son, Eli, never resisted being
bundled up, but Benji fought it with all his strength.
However, only after he was tightly swaddled did the
rocking, pacifier, and shushing calm him.
After a few days of practicing the 5 “S’s,” I could put
Benji down for hours at a time with no problem. Now at
six weeks of age, and at the peak of what should be his
worst time, he’s a pretty easy baby. He takes long naps
and sleeps for seven to nine hours at night (with one very
brief feeding).
For naps, I let him sleep in the swing—on the fast speed
—fully reclined with the white noise CD as loud as a
shower.
I let him nap frequently because I’ve noticed that Ben
gets overstimulated and has a hard time settling himself if
I let him have long awake periods during the day. So,
when he starts getting cranky, I take that as my cue to put
him back in the swing and do my womb imitation.
I recommend this method for anyone with a “difficult”
baby. I can’t imagine what my mental state would be if I
were still carrying him all day and rocking him all night.
It has made an enormous difference for both me and
