In this position, your baby will feel swaddled like in the
womb, keeping the back, legs, & arms in a neutral position.
Stretch the fabric that is closest to your body (the one that
crosses under the second piece of fabric) wide open. This is
where you are going to place your baby.
Place your baby’s back & bottom inside of the fabric so
that the strip wraps around your baby from both sides.
In this stage, your baby’s legs are still outside of the fabric.
Stretch the second, outer strip of fabric over your baby’s
legs and body.
Make sure to pull it tightly and keep it flat so that your
baby is entirely cradled in the X of the fabric.
If need be, tighten the fabric on both sides at the rings if
you feel like your baby is slouching against your body.
Make sure that at all times, your baby’s face is clear and
visible for breathing.
