Swaddling can help soothe a baby and promote better sleep by mimicking the snug environment of the womb. To swaddle with a blanket, follow these steps: Lay the blanket flat and fold down one corner. Place your baby on their back with their head above the folded corner. Bring one side of the blanket across your baby’s body, tucking it snugly under their opposite arm. Fold the bottom of the blanket up over your baby’s feet. Finally, bring the other side of the blanket across your baby’s body, tucking it under their back. Make sure the swaddle is snug but not too tight, allowing room for hip movement and preventing the blanket from coming loose.
