Adorable! :-)<br/>I didn't think people still swaddled their babies; it made me think about the Middle Ages when babies were in swaddling all day long the first months so they would have straight legs and back, but after reading your post it makes sense to wrap them up snuggly to sleep. That it is a bit like in the womb. (And the part about not getting under the blankets was convincing as well..) I might actually swaddle my babies in the future! (I hope there are babies in my future!) :-) What a little cutie! Adorable! :-)

Her hair looks almost red in the pictures. <br/><br/>Funny thing about being an oldest in a large family, I find I can keep up with most moms in these "baby product" conversations. My friends tend give me wierd looks when I take part in the labor and delivery conversations though. :)<br/><br/>~Samantha Thank you for sharing the sweet glimpe into your life of mommy-hood. :) Ruth is such a pretty baby!

Ruth is very cute.<br/><br/>I think you are probably right about keeping her on a schedule. I know a mom who keeps her baby on a schedule, and he has been sleeping through the night since about 3 months old, too. =D The first picture is adorable! Ruth is very cute.

So needless to say my mom has done the same thing with all 8 of us kids. It really is so comforting for the baby to feel the tight, reassuring comfort of a swaddled blanket. We never used a SwaddleMe blanket but found a receiving blanket work perfect. <br/><br/>Swaddling is so comforting to a little person! <br/><br/>Oh, I just has to say that Ruth is just adorable and beautiful!

He calms down as soon as he's swaddled and often falls asleep on his own when he's swaddled. Can we say life saver?<br/><br/>And I love the Bundle me, as well... ;) There's a reason Moms never run out of things to talk about...

My girls are now 3, 2, and 1 so I can't use them anymore, but I will be buying one when God blesses us with another little munchkin!<br/> It is so wonderful being a mother, we truly are blessed to care for such precious little bundles, that grow into special little friends.<br/> Valerie These things look wonderful, I just found out about them, from a mom at our play group.

We had problems getting our little Gabe to sleep unless he was swaddled. I didn't have any of those fancy swaddlers, and the receiving blankets you buy in the store were just too small, so I started making my own. I just buy a yard of cloth and it makes the perfect size blanket for wrapping baby up tight. People are now requesting them for their own babies. lol<br/><br/>Funny how such a little thing helps the baby sleep! So cute! We had problems getting our little Gabe to sleep unless he was swaddled.
