How do I swaddle my baby ?

Well there are two main ways.

Use a cotton blanket or purchase a swaddle blanket (a shaped blanket with velcro fastenings)

• Lay a cotton blanket on a flat surface and fold down the top-right corner about 6 inches.

• Place your baby on their back with their head on the fold.

• Pull the corner near your baby's left hand across their body, and tuck the leading edge under their back on the right side under the arm.

• Pull the bottom corner up under your baby's chin.

• Bring the loose corner over your baby's right arm and tuck it under the back on their left side. If your baby prefers to have their arms free, you can swaddle them under the arms. This gives them access to their hands and fingers.

However my preferred method was to use a designed swaddle blanket like the one below This was not only easier to use than a blanket but also meant my husband could use it too! (and my daughter couldn't get her hands free!)
