Video on How to Swaddle a Baby

Swaddling is the practice of wrapping the baby using a cloth or blanket so that the movement of her limbs are restricted. Swaddling helps your baby sleep comfortably on her back and may also reduce colic in some babies. It also prevents her getting disturbed by her own reflex actions. Usually a swaddled baby does not need an extra blanket to keep herself warm. Remember to check if your baby is hungry or wet before you swaddle her. Also, do not cover her face and head as part of the swaddling. You can swaddle her as tightly or as loosely as you like.This video helps you understand how you can do this.
