Why don't they sell baby strait jackets? - edited

Some Monkey-related tasks are easy: entertaining, feeding favorite foods, going for walks.

Some Monkey-related tasks are hard: getting her to sleep, getting her to STAY asleep, feeding her, changing her, dressing her, bathing her ...you get the gist.

One of my least favorite tasks for the Monkey is getting sunscreen on her. She wiggles, squirms, she crawls away, she tries to lick it off herself, she tries to eat the bottle...

I figured out a solution.

Monkey aka "Baby Houdini"...swaddling never lasts very long.
I swaddle the heck out of her.

Arms pinned by her sides I can actually apply sunscreen to her face (which is generally the hardest part). Now not sure how to get her to stop licking it off her arms...
