Last night has been one of the toughest night we've had so far with Mikayla. She kept crying and crying -- almost as if it was the end of the world. She refused to be put down in her crib and even her swing (thats her fav spot). All she wanted was to be carried …
Swaddle
Ever since Mikayla was born we have been swaddling her at night because of her moro reflex. What is moro reflex? This is an involuntary startle response to a sudden loss of support.
