 If your baby seems too warm, dress her in a diaper and The Amazing Miracle Blanket only. The room temperature where your baby sleeps should be comfortable for a lightly dressed adult.
As your baby grows, the blanket may seem loose around her legs. This is perfectly okay. This will allow for proper movement and development of her hip and knee joints.
It is best to wrap your baby very snuggly. It’s normal for her to fuss when first wrapped - especially the first few times. But don’t worry, after a week or two most babies begin to relax at the mere sight of the blanket.
Be sure no part of the blanket is touching her cheeks. This may trigger her "Rooting Response" and may wake her. If the blanket is touching her cheeks, simply tuck the excess in around the collar.
In step three it’s very important to tuck the arm flaps securely under your baby’s back as the flaps keep your baby from working her arms free and waking herself. This also keeps your baby’s arms in the most effective position - at her sides.
Many babies prefer to have their feet free. In step two you may position your baby with her feet on top of the foot pouch to see if your baby prefers to be wrapped this way. |
