Darcie You state the tape is just to keep the blanket from coming undone, however this is not what was initially described. Lets take a closer look. Katya stated " unwaddled and even loosely swaddled babies feel terribly unsafe" This indicates that she is restricting the baby so she can not move, notice the discriptive words "loosely swaddled". She also states "TAPE her with duct tape around the upper arms" From this it is plain and clear that the childs arms are securley straped to her chest so that she can not reach her face when she bends her arms at the elbow. I suggest you hold your arms to your chest in order to mimic this taping procedure, can you honestly say the child is not bound?. Why does she tape the child so tightly. she states " their motion control is very poor and they hit themselves in the face,". The attempt is to restrain the child so she cannot reach her face. Apparently Katya's sleep is too important to be interupted by her newborn.

Plain and simple this is child abuse, Katya in all her wisdom may not understand this but what she decribes is not in the best interest of this child. She is restricted for hours on end as described by Katya's own words.
