a step-by-step guide to swaddling your baby
Step 1:
lay the aden + anais wrap flat in a diamond shape and fold the top corner down into a triangle (the point of the triangle should sit around one third of the way into the wrap)
Step 2:
place your baby in the center of the folded area with their head just above the fold of the wrap. Ensure that your babys shoulders are still on the wrap.
Step 3:
gently place your babys right arm flat against their body. Take the left side of the aden + anais wrap and bring it across your babys chest. Ensure that your babys arm is securely under the wrap. Tuck the edge of the wrap under your baby to firmly fix the wrap.
Step 4:
fold the bottom of the aden + anais wrap up and over your babys feet.
Step 5:
finally, place your babys left arm gently against their body, take the right side of the aden + anais wrap and bring it across your babys chest. Tuck the excess material underneath your baby to secure the swaddle.
