Baby swaddling how to video
Glenn Fleishman sez: As befits a new dad who loves technology, I've made a small movie (with my wife as videographer) of two quick ways to swaddle a baby: using regular receiving blankets and with a special garment called the Miracle Blanket. Swaddling is supposed to help babies be calmer when they're upset and to sleep better. And, holy cats, it worked for us. When I got a good swaddle going and added some hairdryer noise (recorded and burned to CD), my wife and I started sleeping at night quite a bit, only two weeks into his young life. Link (and when baby gets a few months older, I recommend that they ferberize him.)Share this post
