how to wrap/swaddle in a cloth

By -
Baby swaddling in proper way is very important. It becomes easy to handle our little ones especially for first few weeks after birth. When babies are inside womb they don't have much space to move, when they come out it suddenly changes. So, swaddling gives newborn that safe feeling of being in moms belly. New born babies love being wrapped specially during winter.

Soft cotton square or diamond shaped cloth is ideal for wrapping. There are many ways to wrap a baby in a cloth but tight wrapping should be avoided, also wrap a baby in such a way that he/she feels comfortable in. I am sharing my way of wrapping cloth around baby, it worked for about a month till baby got strength to bring hands out as I never tied my LO very tight.

Steps:

 

  1.  Lay a piece of cloth on bed in a flat manner as shown.
  2. Put baby's hands parallel to his/her body. Fold cloth around baby's left shoulder and pull it lightly.
  3. Tuck remaining triangular portion of cloth behind baby's back.
  4.  Make right hand also straight and touching tucked in portion, fold cloth across right shoulder pull it a little and move around the body as shown in figure 4 such that a triangular portion is peeking out.
  5. Take tail portion of cloth,fold and bring it out from the opposite side of peeking portion as shown.
  6. Tie knot not too tight not too loose. Done....
