Sleep Training and the Startle Reflex

Hi - I have a three month old boy and am about to go back to work next week.

Looking for Good Quality Receiving Blankets.

I am pregnant with my 3rd child and due any day now. My other two children were born in late winter so I swaddeled them with fleece blankets that had some stretch in them and kept them swaddeled. Since this baby is going to be born in the hot summer I need a lighter blanket to swaddle with. I can't seem to find a light weight blanket or receiving blanket that feels like is has some stretchiness in it to help the baby stay swaddled. Any suggestions?
