The cruelty of breastfeeding - your wife has spectacular boobs ... but they are not for you.I learned about a swaddle and several other nice tidbits this weekend.
Also, Sloot looks like Anna Nicole Smith up top at the moment. Congrats Anthony!
"Arms Free" is a new safe sleep standard that a lot of hospitals have adopted. I know Good Sam and Children's in Cincinnati put newborns in sleep sacks and do not swaddle with the arms in.-Joey, whats up with arm swaddling? I've read about hip development but if his arms are loose the little dude won't sleep at all. He just waives his arms around like, "What the hell are these things.. oh I'll scratch my face... now I'm going to eat my hand... now I'm bouncing to Naughty By Nature."
It's also important to keep in mind that generations of children have been raised doing the opposite and/or none of that and grew into the people who came up with these basics.The basics I've picked up are:

- Arms out in a sleep sack.
- Always on his back to sleep.
- Crib next to the parent's bed.
- Sleeping room temperature between 68-71.

- Dress him in one more layer of clothing than you are comfortable in.
- Don't leave him a car seat more than necessary - to nap in the house, etc.
He has turned out to be a very mellow baby so far and I am crediting it to those early flashcard reps.

Make sure they eat and sleep. The rest is gravy. But don't give them gravy.
Ha!Yeah we're on top of all that stuff. What's your method with the cards? I just use the all of the lights video by Kanye.
