Sleeping with a halo

So I just wanted to say Anderson is sleeping like an angel. And I now know where Halo got its name from haha!

Sleeping secret?  Because Cohen slept with us for nearly a year, I decided this time around we'd use a bassinet. I chose the halo one because it swivels, lowers on one side, and was a just in case (because it's recommended for c section moms!). It's rather big but because we have wood floors, it slides when I want to move the entire thing. Anderson has some reflux so we prop one side up with a small quilt, a normal crib wedge won't fit due to the unique shape. 
Both boys like it :)

We got the more expensive model. It has lights and vibration functions but honestly we don't use them. Ever. Haha. Anderson likes his space to be quiet and still. 



Swaddle...so this is new for us because Cohen hated the thing. A dear friend of mine sent me the new halo sleeper and it is our favorite. (And we have a LOT of different swaddles!) it's called the swaddle sure. 

The best thing is the 'velcro' part. It is this new stuff that doesn't stick to ANYTHING other than the fabric it's supposed to. So no more Velcro from our target swaddles getting hung up in the laundry. Plus, it keeps him more snug and thus Houdini arms can't escape. We brought both these swaddles on our trip because they seriously put him right asleep. 
This is the newbie size that obviously our huge kid grew out of quickly...so here's the size small...

My aunt's attempt at swaddling :)

Anyway, both winners in my book. Amazon and buyBuyBaby are our stores of choice.
