It's not, really, but that's what it was called.Take a square-ish blanket, lay it down with the corners at NSWE, and fold N in a few inches.Lay the baby's head at N.Fold W over all the way, across the baby as far as it'll go, and tuck the W corner under the baby.Fold S up all the way, and if possible, tuck the S corner back into the fold-over that W made.Wrap E around.You now have a baby-burrito. The baby is swaddled, warm, and comfortable.Ideally, you do it so that the arms are stuck inside. On really good days, my kid's arms would stay inside for about two minutes, and then one arm would stick on out. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />(hijack)Harmon, no easy ideas offhand -- that's not something I've really heard of. One possibility that I've run into a very little bit with my son is that it's not a negative reaction, but an excitement reaction. My son likes me, which is nice and all, but honestly, an excited two-year-old isn't really gonna be in a great place to cuddle. He will bounce up and down on me and want to roughhouse and generally do things that could look antagonistic, except that he's laughing as he does them, and it's understood that he and I are playing.If it's not overstimulated playing, it's also possible that Bug has figured out that when Mom comes home, it means that she's going to be going to bed soon, and she's now associating going to bed with Mom and getting frustrated.I don't know that that helps come up with solutions for the behavior, but I'd look at Le's schedule and see if there are any ways to mix in additional hours somewhere, at different times (like coming home for lunch). Then maybe you can see if this behavior happens all the time, or just when it's bedtime (which is coincidentally when Mom is home).</blockquote>
