How to use your Swaddler

-Place your The Cutesy Mom Swaddler on a flat surface and fold one corner down about 6 inches.
-Place your baby on his back with his head right above the fold.
-Pull the right corner (your right) over his body, keeping his left arm down at his side. Tuck the Swaddler between his right arm and side, and then bring it under his back. Be sure to get a snug wrap.


-Bring the bottom corner over his feet. This does not have to be tight, but you can tuck it in under his chin if you want to.


-Wrap the left corner over his body, with his right arm down at his side, and then tuck the remaining part of the blanket under your baby.
This should leave only his head and neck exposed. The weight of the baby should keep the swaddle nice and tight.
These are pics from Anna's first swaddle. They were not taken for tutorial purposes, but to capture Anna's first moments in this world. (Even puffy and red, she is the prettiest baby!) Hopefully they will help you visualize how to swaddle.
