The creation of Leo Burrito...



During this pregnancy we have been actively reading and attending classes regarding pregnancy and parenthood. There was always one thing that would come up time and time again - swaddling. Within minutes of meeting our new son, we were getting a lesson in swaddling from our hospital nurse. The hospital and nurses don't mess around when it comes to swaddling - usually using two blankets at a time (sometimes even a warm blanket right out of the dryer).

The act of swaddling is similar to the wrapping of a burrito (or at least this is the association two people from LA who make weekly trips to Mijares made). And this method of wrapping could miraculously change a screaming Leo into a sleeping Leo. It was only natural that our new son adopted the nickname - Leo Burrito.
