The Ultimate Infant Swaddle Wrap

**Click on the picts to see larger. Call me if you need some help!**
1: Start with a 45x45 single piece of flannel, sew the edges.
2: Lay it out like shown below, folding the top side over 2 inches
(Try to keep the baby's arms down by their chest or sides, especially when they get a few months old.)
3: Tightly flap one side over, tucking under baby's back, then do the same for the other. Tuck under baby's back, keeping it tight.4: Criss Cross your botom corners up across the baby's chest, to their shoulders.
(if you flip flap right then left, then criss right then left, and vica versa)
5: Tie your ends by one shoulder or the other, so it is not in the back underneath them.
6: Then enjoy a good nights rest...hopefully!

Thanks to my mom for teaching us this sleep-saving, amazing technique! We have now moved up to the 60x60 swaddle wrap. Allstar has been sleeping 5 hours since 2 weeks, and is now sleeping 7-10 hours at each night.
