Journaling: You started off as such an easy baby, sleeping all the time. After the fist month, you still slept a lot, but when you were awake, you seemed a bit irritable. Then we read “The Happiest Baby on the Block” by Dr Karp. He stuggested the 5 S’s to sooth fussy, colicky babies. Well, you weren’t colicky, but we gave it a try and you know what? It worked like a charm! As soon as you started fussing, we’d swaddle you up and you would lie there contently and then drift off to sleep! Maybe that’s why you were irritable. You just needed more sleep. No one believed us at first. Paw Paw brought you to me once when you were fussy because she wanted to see the 5 S’s in action and she was shocked to see you content and asleep within minutes. All her doubts were gone and she said “wow, is it ever easy to raise children these days!” In Calgary, auntie Donna made me demonstrate again and again because she couldn’t believe it. Everyone said you looked so funny, wrapped up tight like a burrito, but they couldn’t argue with the fact that you calmed down right before their eyes the instant we swaddled you. You were literally a bundle of joy!
