To know how to swaddle a baby is a potentially life-changing talent, especially for new mothers. However, you don’t have to be an expert in swaddling. We will help you learn about swaddling your newborn step by step in this article.
The most appropriate way to wrap your tiny ones is to cover them in a way that is not too tight or not too loose for the baby. If it’s too tight, there are chances of developing problems in Baby’s hip joint.
How to Swaddle, Step-by-Step
Spread the Swaddle Sheet on a Flat Surface
Take your muslin sheet and place it over a flat surface in the shape of a diamond. Now fold the top corner of the sheet almost 5-6 inches.
Keep the Head and Neck Out of The Sheet
Place your baby in the middle of the sheet, keeping its neck and head above the folded corner of the sheet. Keep the shoulders of the baby lower than the folded corner of the sheet.
Swaddle the Arms and Legs of the Baby
Now gently hold both arms straight, wrap the sheet’s right corner, bottom, and left corner over the baby, and tightly tuck it all under the baby’s body.
Tuck their legs in
Now to secure the legs, fold the bottom corner of the sheet over the baby’s feet, and tuck the sheet under the chin of the baby in the first fold.
