How To Properly Swaddle A Baby?

How to properly swaddle your baby? There are mainly the following steps:

One is to lay out the blanket. We know that swaddle blankets are all square. Place the square blanket on the bed in a diamond shape, with one corner facing the swaddler, and then fold the top corner of the diamond by about fifteen centimeters. This is the swaddle blanket already set.

The second is to put the baby on the arranged blanket. Carefully place your baby's shoulders parallel below the 15cm fold so that the small triangles folded in half can become baby's little pillows. Then pull up the baby's left hand on the chest, pull up the left swaddle blanket, slightly raise the baby's right swaddle blanket, and tuck the left blanket under the right side, be careful not to pull too tightly , if it is too tight, the baby's hands cannot move, which will affect the baby's comfort, and the baby will cry. After folding the left side, fold the right side in the same way.

Finally, wrap your baby around the bottom end of the blanket. After completing the above steps, fold the bottom end of the blanket over your baby's back, either with a knot or tucked directly into the blanket behind your baby.

In short, when swaddling a baby, the first principle is not to wrap the baby too tightly, but to leave a certain space for the baby's hands and feet to move freely. The purpose of swaddling is to give the baby a sense of security, not To limit the baby. And if the package is too tight, it will also have an adverse effect on the growth and development of the baby, so we must pay attention to the correct packaging method.
