Look at what I put him through
A swaddling photo shoot after his bath
He was so happy to pose at the start but at the end, not so much.
I'll be honest with you we had NO idea how to swaddle when he was born then the lactation nurse (who I have nicknamed The Baby Whisperer) taught us this amazing swaddle technique.
It's like baby is in a sleeping bag as it puts their hands up by their face which is how they prefer to sleep.
This swaddle technique is the only one we use, it's fantastic, it's SIDS safe (mimics sleeping bags), it looks so cute.
1. Place swaddle on bed with the narrowest end at the top, fold it down a couple of inches
2. Place baby on the swaddle with their neck sitting on the fold.
3. Tuck the right arm under the fold
4. Bring the fabric over the body
5. Tuck it under
Repeat with the left side
6. Fan out the bottom of the swaddle like a peacock's tail and fold it in just a little
7. Bring the fan up and rest the fold on the baby's waist
8. Bring the right side under the baby's bottom to the left then take the fabric on the left and swing it back under the bottom to the right
10. Tuck the fabric into the fold at the waist
11. Happy swaddled baby haahahahahahaa
If you're about to have a baby I highly suggest you practise this before you go into hospital.
You could do it with a folded up towel and pretend it has arms.... or a doll if you have one.
Is everyone ready for Christmas?
