Upgraded from swaddle

After reading my blog about our struggles with the swaddle, a reader suggested I try something new; a Peke Moe sleep sac. We ordered one online and it arrived a couple of days ago. I used it for the first time last night.
Honestly, in the last little while Alex has become a great sleeper at night, I probably could have done without the sleep sac. But it has a purpose and its benefits. I was concerned about her flailing arms, but that's not too much of a concern anymore. It has only been in the last week or so (after we ordered the sac) that she stopped flailing to wake herself up. She still moves her arms a lot but not so much when she sleeps; she has much more control over her arms now.
The Peke Moe does work as a great blanket; no worries of baby being smothered or kicking off the blanket and getting cold in the night.
Alex didn't mind the sleep sac, she slept quite well. But she wasn't pleased with the tight-fitting neck going over her head (she doesn't like clothes going over her head in general) or in the morning when she wanted to suck her hands. Overall I think it was a good investment, especially for winter.
