The Diabolical Stinky Burrito Gang
Preceded by their reputation is the Stinky Burrito Gang. This trio of bundled of odiferous trouble are often found hanging around "The Crib". Known for their funky demeanor, when bundled tightly they usually stay out of trouble.
We were introduced to the swaddle in the NICU via a video shown to us. We actually had the book the video was based on, The Happiest Baby on the Block. Like any professed cure-all solution, some skeptism is warranted. I'll just say this; I have no previous parenting experience so my opinion should not mean too much, but we wrap our triplets almost exclusively so that they can sleep soundly between feedings. We bunk them together, so when they are not swaddled they slap the crap out of each other among other problems. I have used the swaddle combined with the side-lay, jiggle, and shushing to calm Everett many nights. Thanks for showing us. It has been the single most effective tool in our parenting arsenal.

For 2 weeks, I went toe to toe with the Diabolical Stinky Burrito Gang and let me tell you, they are relentless. One look at their little chubby cheeks and I was rendered defenseless. Beware of their cuteness!
