Best Practice is a sharing of ideas, tricks, tips, lifestyles, ways of doing things and practices. It is the idea that everyone has something to bring to the table and everyone has something that they do well.
The lovely Heather from The Coterie Blog is guest posting for this week’s Best Practice. Heather is a blogger and mom to two little boys. Her new baby boy is named Hawk and he sleeps in my favorite nursery on the internets. Welcome Heather!
The key to nice swaddles that don’t fall apart and get loosey-goosey easily is, when you’re doing each fold, make them tight. Not cut-off-circulation tight, but like a 7 out of 10 tight. Tighter than you expect. The babies like it, I promise. Plus, their arms shouldn’t escape as easily.
Fold your blanket into a triangle. If your blanket isn’t really too big, just fold the top corner down.
Lay your babies neck at the top of the triangle, so there’s a point at the bottom. Fold one side over and tuck about a hand’s width under the babies arm (maybe a little more?).

Take the bottom point and fold it up. If it’s longer than needed, tuck the point over one shoulder.
Take the last corner of the blanket and wrap it nice and tight around the opposite side of the baby.
Pulling really snug at the point is key!
Tuck the corner in the bottom!
We have a set of these blankets...I LOVE THEM...I bought a pink set for my sister in law!
