Once upon a time in a land far away there lived a baby princess named Charlotte. Now Princess Charlotte was the most beautiful in all the land, and everyone around her thought that she was the most perfect of babies. While during the day this was mostly true, every night, while the land was peaceful and all the villagers were sleeping, the princess turned into a wiggle worm.
It was so bad that her mother put Princess Charlotte in a straight jacket to keep her from thrashing around in her crib and to keep her little arms away from her face. This worked for a good month and a half, but then the baby learned to roll over on her own and also learned to semi crawl while on her tummy. This led to the little princess becoming constantly stuck between the crib bars, starting at one end of her bed and ending up at the other, and turning herself so that her feet were where her head had been.
The princess’ mother became desperate, and put out a request on all the land for advice to keep the princess in one spot while she slept.
Do you know how this story ends? Please give me your advice in the comments, and I will let you know the ending as soon as it happens! Thanks

With my first little guy I had the same problem, so what I did, was get a larger swaddling blanket, and then progressed to a big rectangle one that had a lot of stretch, and just wrapped circles around him, then I took a crib blanket, turned it sideways, and wedged one side really tight between the far crib rail and mattress, then lay the swaddled baby down, then before he could pull free, I'd pull the top crib blanket tight across his chest and tuck tight into the close side of the mattress and rails. Then he would just look at me with those adorable eyes, and fall asleep. I think that lasted for a little while anyway, at least until he started standing up in the middle of the night... a whole new chapter.
