Sleeping without the Swaddle

Remember Mateo like a burrito? Yes, he looked like a burrito to me since day one because that was the only way he could fall asleep and stay that way for a long stretch. In several occasions we tried unsuccessfully to encourage him to sleep without the swaddle and it was a waste of time. He would be a big threat to his pretty face because trying to go to sleep he will scratch his face to the point of hurting himself. Not anymore! Finally at 5 months of age, almost like a little miracle, he stopped needing to be swaddled. Now he is taking his naps and sleeping at night with a different look. He looks like a little man and not a burrito anymore. I love his little hands now touching my face or my hair at night. I love my baby!!
