All the well-known baby books recommend swaddling to soothe a newborn. Reminds the infant of the snug confines of the womb, they say. Well, Jack is no fanof the swaddling. Almost as soon as he is laid down he is wriggling against his bonds rather like Houdini and just as effectively. Here he assunmes his traditional "touchdowb baby" sleeping postion soon after another escape. Not the casual off-the-shoulder look he adopted through his wriggles.
