- Learn how to swaddle a baby using a cotton muslin swaddling blanket, as well as a swaddle product by Nested Bean.
Swaddling is an important skill that you'll want to master if you work as a labor and delivery nurse, or if you're a new parent.
Swaddling is great for two reasons: First, it mimics the tight quarters of the uterus. In addition, it also prevents the baby from self-waking due to the Moro (startle) reflex.
To swaddle, you need a blanket of an appropriate size. Most swaddle blankets are around 40" x 40" or 44" x 44". Optionally, you can a newer swaddle blanket that allows for Velcro attachment.
Start by folding the top corner of the blanket down. Then, hold down one arm, and fold the blanket over the baby's torso while tucking it over the opposite arm. Next, fold the bottom of the blanket up and tuck it under the baby's shoulder, making sure that it isn't too tight on the legs. Finally, hold the arm on the opposite side down as you pull the final corner of the blanket over the other side of the torso and tuck it under the body.
Always put a swaddled baby on its back, and make sure clothing isn't too tight or too loose. In addition, keep the baby's overall temperature in mind when adding or removing layers of clothes, and stop swaddling once the baby can roll over.

You helped me a lot with this. Thank you very much.
Wht is the lastest a baby should roll over with the new born being premature?
@@smileya6518 A newborn should do tummy time SUPERVISED but ALWAYS back for sleep
Anybody jealous of how calm the babies are in the video? Saying this as i watch at 2am with my beautiful son screaming his head off at me in my poor attempts to swaddle him 😂
Been a dad for three days. Feel like I’ve been one for three years after watching this a few times. Thank you so much!
I've been a dad to a 7 year old(my stepson but he knows me only as Dad), and my wife just gave birth yesterday at 5 pm
@@DJKosloskiTVaww that’s amazing ❤
My little brother is three and with a throw blanket I did this. Never heard him laugh so much 10/10 recommend, the giggles are superb.
He’s just peacefully sleeping while you swaddle him... love it!! 💕
OMG he is so cute he's just lays there all sleeping while you doing your thing with the video and swaddling and doesn't even budge how adorable ️ ❤️💞
This babies arms are a dream. My little girl does not stop throwing her Arms around the entire time
Growing up in a large family w many aunts, I started swaddling nephews and nieces since 12 yo. At first my American wife struggled to understand worrying our kid didn’t like it. But having had long and uninterrupted sleeps 3 babies and 13 years later she gave in. Now she tells all her friends and colleagues that swaddling is a must.
I tell new parents, the key to better nights is -ready?- 1. Good bath, 2. Filling dinner, 3. Fresh diaper and a swaddle blanket. That’s it.
Doesn’t matter how tight my kid is wrapped, he breaks free 90% of the time.
Bro my daughter weighs 6 pounds and she’s probably the strongest being I’ve ever met
Thank you so much💗 new foster parent here - this is so incredibly clear and helpful. Nice to see someone who’s found their calling.
It looks like he is very much used to with this procedure.. very cooperative.. lovely child.
He’s so cute and such a good baby! Thanks Sarah and Josiah ❤️
I'm 35yrs old and i'm gonna have my wife swaddle me now, looks comfy

I’m in the post party room with my newborn less than 15 hours old. This video was at the PERFECT speed for me to follow along and emphasized the parts that I needed to focus on PERFECTLY! 10/10 would recommend to others.
I’m going to show this video to my wife next lol😂
I read that as "next wife" at first and was extremely confused
@arisyn the saying goes "my next ex wife"
My daughter just told me yesterday her and her husband is expecting after years of trying. This video was perfect timing. :D
God bless them ! 🙏
Just started working in Peds and still trying to master swaddling- Sarah saved me in nursing school and here we are again as a new Nurse👨🏽🍼
Thank you "baby" for teaching us the baby is the hero of the video
Thank you for this. One additional point that is critical: arms down by side for the baby when you swaddle them! Makes all the difference!
Thanks for the video! Your baby is going to be so happy when he gets older and watches all the video he's in!!
I love all of your videos Sarah the best nursing education videos ever !!!!
