We swaddled Brandon for months, and it helped him sleep. We were given a swaddle blanket for Caitlin, which made swaddling all that much easier. However, she just *had* to have one little arm out. She would struggle and struggle, not sleeping, to get the arm out! Once it was out, she'd go to sleep. We had to swaddle with one arm out after we discovered that issue! Maybe Robbie is the same way. We did the partial swaddle for a month or so, but were done by the third month.
What would you like to know? I'm 37, I (sort of) stay at home with my kids of whom I have three. My girls are 8 and 6 while the boy is 3. My husband brings me coffee in bed almost every morning, which just about makes him the best husband ever. Once, a long long time ago, I was an underpaid, extremely hard working elementary school teacher. Now, not only I am the teacher, but the nurse, janitor, secretary, principal and lunch lady. I'm just trying to figure out how to be a good mom, model the love of Jesus, and keep my house clean. I'll take all the help I can get.

Didn't Kate have to have one arm free when she was swaddled? He is so cute! It looks like he is filling out a little.
We can so relate.
Have you looked into the miracle blanket? (http://www.miracleblanket.com/)
We got these for Kate when she was little because she was doing the same, and they keep 'em nice and tight. We're using them on the twins now.
