5 Month Old Breastfed Baby, Sleep Issues, Formula and Miracle Blanket

I think I may have a unique problem that is a combination of breastfeeding, swaddling, sleep, and sanity... My 5 month old daughter Isabella was never a great sleeper. She cluster fed from the beginning and if it wasn't for the pump I think I would have either given up breastfeeding or jumped off a bridge! A friend of mine highly recommended the miracle blanket which is sort of like a baby straightjacket. It worked in extending her sleep by an hour or two (when she only slept a couple of hours, it was very helpful) and it became...

He would cry every night from 4- 10 pm with breaks only to feed, NOTHING we did worked. Until the magical age of 2 1/2 months it was like one day EVERYTHING changed and now he hardly is fussy at all. My question is evern since he was born when we would try to place him in the bassinet to sleep he would startle himself awake and it would be impossible to get him back to sleep, so my husband and...

Back to Work - Two Baby Questions Feeding and Sleeping

I am Mom to a 20 month old and a 3 month old. I am now back to work. My husband is taking vacation to be at home with the baby for 3 weeks and we are having some major problems getting him to take the bottle. Until now he has breast-fed great. He took a bottle about 4 times while I was on maternity leave (the last few times the sitter said he was fussy but I did not think too much about it since he took it great at 4 weeks old). Now... for 5 days last week he drank less than an ounce ALL DAY (7am til 6pm) for my husband. I am pumping...

Miracle Blanket Users - When Did You Stop Using It?

My daughter just turned 6 months old and still sleeps wrapped up tightly in her miracle blanket. Wondering when your kids wrestled free. (My oldest used Miracle blankets until about 5 months and always woke up with it sort of loosely wrapped in place until she finally broke free -- then we dropped it cold turkey. Shortly thereafter she started sleeping on her belly in a Halo.) Is there any reason for me to stop wrapping her up? I told her doc at her well baby visit that she still sleeps swaddled up tightly and he didn't bat an eye so I...
