SwadDling a Crying Baby

Sometimes babies cry even if they have been fed, have clean diapers and are healthy. There will be times when your child cries simply because they need to be comforted. One way to comfort a child is by swadling them. Snugly wrap your baby up in a blanket (but not too tightly).

After wrapping your baby up you can now soothe them by quietly singing to them. If your baby falls asleep be sure not to put them face down.
