Swaddling
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!
