Swaddling a baby can help stop crying or fussing. To swaddle a baby:
- Put your baby on a large blanket that has the top corner folded down (as shown in A)
- Bring the left arm down (as shown in B). Wrap the cloth over the arm and chest and tuck it under the right side of the baby (as shown in C).
- Bring the right arm down. Wrap the cloth over the baby's arm and chest and tuck it under the left side of the baby (as shown in D).
- Twist or fold the bottom end of the cloth and tuck it behind the baby, ensuring that both legs are bent up and out (as shown in E and F). It is important to leave room for the hips to move.
