We have been very fortunate when it comes to baby sleeps. Amane was a great (still is) sleeper from the very beginning, we even had to wake her up for the night time feeding at her first month.
Kaisei started to sleep between 6-7 hours straight after his 1st month check up. I am so glad because there were few times he woke up in the middle of the night and didn't go back to sleep for at least 2 hours. Nothing seemed to work, singing, swaddling, rocking, uh-uh, nothing. He was wide awake. Thank goodness he decided to sleep nowadays and I am grateful that both of our kids took amazing sleep skill from their daddy. He can really sleep, I believe if I let him, he'd sleep all day.
We swaddled Amane everyday until she moved up to sleep sack, and we recently started using SwaddleMe for Kaisei because he was getting out of it by himself. I think he sleeps better with it than the blanket, maybe it was due to our poor swaddling skills... Anyway, I would definitely recommend it!
Happy sleeping to all the babies and parents out there!

雨音誕生前に受けた両親学級のクラスでスワドル（おくるみ）に初遭遇。
それまではおくるみって抱く時にのみするモノだと思っていたので、ぐるぐる巻にして赤ちゃんは眠るのか、フムフムと妙に感心した覚えがあります。
寝る事に関しては、雨音は1ヶ月を過ぎた頃から６−７時間ぶっ続けで寝るという大層親孝行な娘。
放っとけば１日中寝るであろう旦那のDNAを継承する者。
一方の海晴、最近1ヶ月を過ぎてからは雨音と同じ位寝るようになってくれましたが、生後数週間は夜中の授乳後2-3時間起きっ放しという暴挙に…まぁ何をしても寝なかったです。
この日々がずっと続いたらどうしようとぞっとしてましたが、取り越し苦労だったな、ありがとう、息子よ。
話はそれましたが、我が家は2人共スワドルを採用。
最初の1月は正方形の布でくるみ、その後は寝袋のような簡易版（写真）を使っています。
個人的には簡易版の方がすやすや良く寝る気が。我らの布の巻き方が下手なだけ？むむ。
日本でも私が知らなかっただけで、してるのかな。
スワドル、苦手な子もいるようですが、個人的にはおすすめです。
さやえんどうみたいで可愛いし。
