Sleep help PLEASE!!!!

Hi-

Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated!

DD is about 5 months old. She has pretty bad eczema-took her to see the dermatologist and we are applying creams three times per day.  Her skin looks pretty cleared up but she still rubs her face.  We swaddle her in the Miracle Blanket (SwaddleMe doesn't stand a chance) but she is such a Houdini and gets out of it at least twice per night.  When she gets out of the swaddle, her hands immediately go to her face to rub/scratch and she knocks her binky out.  I end up having to reswaddle her or re-binky her a few times per night....in addition to nursing twice per night.  I am tired!!!!!   I think not swaddling is not an option at this point.   Any suggestions? 

thanks!

    Our ds was a champ at getting outta' the swaddle blanket too!! One morning I walked in and it looked like he could have strangled himself I stopped swaddling him! He woke up all the time because he was fighting with the swaddling blanket. So I tried putting him to sleep without it and it worked, it took a couple nights but he got used to it. GL!!
