      My baby is high school now, but I want to tell you: don't waddle baby. It is a terrible thing to do. Imagine tie your arms together the whole night. When doctors are stupid they are really harmful, because people trust them. I know their argument, they are wrong. Don't do that to your baby.

      You are so blessed to know this. The Christmas story always said the baby Jesus was wrapped in a swaddling cloth, but I never heard what that was until I typed "swaddling cloth" on the RUclips search line and found this video. If I remember right Dr Spock said let the baby cry for two hours one night then one hour the next night then I would be trained to get itself to sleep. I don't know if that ever worked. My children were born in the 1960s

    Second time dad here. With my 1st born I used to position her arms to her side as recommend by the midwife. So with my now second born I adapted the same method, assuming it would work in the same manner as it proven to work first time. Didn’t work at all… So I went RUclips diving and saw the difference of the arm placement in this video… Immediate results!!! Little one is all passed. So definitely check out the difference in arm placement when swaddling. Best of luck and wishes in your parenting journey
