Swaddling (wrapping your baby with a towel or blanket) for short periods can help a small baby feel secure and can calm down a restless baby. Keep your baby’s hands free when he is asleep and when breastfeeding.
- Fold the top 30cm of a towel or blanket.
- Place your baby in the middle with his shoulders inside the top edge.
- Tuck one side of the baby under the opposite arm.
- Fold the blanket over the baby’s feet.
- Tuck the last piece of blanket over the exposed arm.
- Make sure nothing covers the baby’s face – ever!
