That sounds good. I watched her like a hawk to see what she'd do till bed time.
Surprisingly she left it alone, and awake off and on. They don't want to miss a thing. Sleeping in playpen beside me , I was able to keep an eye on her, I'm such a light sleeper.....in morning after a bit though she had nose down there naturally. A few days before , I practiced putting the onesie on her and taking it off and having her et the feel of it.She wanted to whip out of it every time but if I wanted her to hold still it was like a straight jacket, she froze! Didn't like it.
So since she isn't jumpy and runny yet I'll wait . what I did do was cut a strip of her favorite thin receiving blanket , just wide enough to cover her belly and just long enough to wrap around her and taped it together with shipping tape! That stuff is stickier than scotch tape. It's like , oh what do you call it when you wrap a newborn up ?! Can't think......any way she loved it! And it's breathable..
Oh swaddling ! lol
I was pretty proud of myself for thinking of that but after I write it down it sounds pretty barbaric! Lol
