After you deliver your little baby, you notice that the nurse in the hospital will bundle up your newborn snugly in a cosy baby blanket. The method they using is call swaddling.
Swaddling is the art of snugly wrapping your baby in a blanket for warmth and security. It can keep him from being disturbed by his own startle reflex, and it may even help him stay warm and toasty for the first few days of life until his internal thermostat kicks in. Most important, it can help to calm your baby since he's used to being tightly compacted in your womb.
With the wrap, it also provides a gentle and even horizontal pressure around your baby's abdomen, and it helps to relieve colic or prevents him from startling on any sudden noises. Trust me, swaddling is a very useful way to prevent your baby colicky should you wish to train him to sleep in the baby cot from day one. Should you plan to let your baby sleep inside baby sling, then this method might not suitable to apply on your newborn. However, if you find that your baby hates being confined and is irritable when he's bundled up, please don't do it. I didn't do this for my Nayely because she hates to bundle.
What you need to swaddle a baby?
Swaddling blanket made of 100% cotton flannel. It must be lightweight and breathable, flannel has a surface that is brushed soft. Ideally meassurement, the wrap should be square-cut (not larger than 74cm x 74cm) with hems.
How to perform this cozy art?
1) Spread out the blanket on a flat surface. Fold down one corner of the blanket.Position your baby with his shoulder just slightly below the folded section of the blanket.
2a) Place him left arm close to her body, and fold the left side over.


2b) Tuck in the edge under his back.
3) Fold up the bottom, covering your baby's legs and lower body.



4) Place your baby's right arm close to his body before bringing the right edge of the blanket over his body - make sure it's snug.
5) Tuck the right edge securely under the left sideof your baby's body.
