Swaddling’s ability to soothe and calm babies has been known to mothers around
the world for countless generations. Swaddling is one of the most gentle, effective, and beneficial practices for
mothers and their children.
Spotted Stork has a wonderful selection of Aden + Anais classic muslin, bamboo and organic swaddles, crib sheets, blankets, sleeping bags and bibs.
Step 1: Lay the swaddle in a diamond shape and fold the top corner down to form a triangle. Place your baby in the center of the folded area with their head just above the fold of the swaddle. Ensure that your baby's shoulders are still below the fold.
Step 2: Place your baby's right arm slightly bent at the elbow flat against their body. Take the left side of the swaddle and bring it across your baby's chest. Ensure their arm is securely under the fabric. Tuck the edge of the swaddle under their body to ensure a secure swaddle.
Step 3: Fold the bottom of the swaddle up and over your baby's feet.
Step 4: Finally, place your baby's left arm slightly bent at the elbow against their body, take the right side of the swaddle and bring it across your baby's chest. Tuck the excess fabric underneath your baby to secure the swaddle.
