5 Simple Steps to Using a Baby Swaddle Blanket

A square cotton sheet, muslin wrap, or specifically constructed swaddling wrap such as the miracle blanket, or even a cloth nappy or diaper will work best for swaddling your baby.

• Fold one corner of the sheet over and spread it out flat.
• Place your baby on the sheet, face up, with the fold under his neck.
• Tuck the right corner beneath him after wrapping it around his body.
• Fold the bottom corner over his feet and tuck it in.
• Only his head and neck are exposed after wrapping the left corner around his torso and tucking it underneath him.

While most parents swaddle their babies with their hands tucked within the wrap, some babies prefer to have one arm free, especially if they want to suck or gnaw on their hand or fingers. To find out which position your baby prefers, try both. The goal of swaddling your baby is to make him feel safe, not to keep him warm. To avoid overheating your baby, it's recommended to use a light-weight cotton baby swaddling wrap. Make sure that no part of your baby's face is covered by the swaddle wrap, as this could cause him to overheat or, worse, suffocate.

Remember that if you wrap the swaddling blanket too tightly, your baby's circulation may be cut off; you want him to feel safe and secure, not squashed! Wrapping your kid too tightly can also hinder his development of movement.

Many newborns enjoy being swaddled, and being wrapped in their swaddling blanket is often enough to put them to sleep. The secure feeling is thought to remind babies of being cradled in the womb, where they felt safe and secure. When it's time to quit swaddling, your baby will let you know. Some parents just swaddle their infant for the first month, while others do so until their child is four months old or older. When it's time to cease swaddling, your baby will normally try to kick off the wrap and let you know. (It's his way of telling you he's had enough.)
