Swaddling Your Baby
1. Choose the Right Material
Opt for a soft, breathable fabric like cotton or muslin to ensure your baby stays comfortable and doesn't overheat.
2. Lay Out the Swaddle
Spread the swaddle on a flat surface and fold one corner down, creating a triangle shape. Place your baby on the swaddle with their shoulders slightly below the folded edge.
3. Wrap the First Side
Gently place your baby's arm alongside their body and pull the swaddle across, tucking it snugly under their opposite side.
4. Wrap the Bottom
Lift the bottom corner of the swaddle and fold it up over your baby's legs, tucking it under their first arm.
5. Wrap the Second Side
Place your baby's other arm alongside their body and pull the remaining swaddle corner across, tucking it securely under their back.
6. Check the Fit
Make sure the swaddle is snug but not too tight, allowing room for your baby's hips and legs to move freely.
