How do you keep a newborn on his/her back while sleeping? And/or tips for swaddling really well?

DH and I have had a terrible time trying to keep Emma on her back at night. We have a co-sleeper in our room, and the first night we were home I found her on her side, with her face pressed up against the side of the co-sleeper. We decided to try the sleep positioner, but she slides down in that and I worry that she'll do the same on the sides of that.

I try to swaddle her, but she is really good at breaking out of it. I used the Swaddle Me and regular receiving blankets, which I won't use again because she's worked those up over her face. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I agree. It makes them like a little baby burrito! Here is a link to the site for it, which shows you how to use it.

Miracle Blanket instructions

ETA: you can't get the Miracle Blanket at BRU. If you don't have a Buy Buy Baby near you, you can order the blanket online at the site listed above.
