Spread a receiving blanket on a crib, a bed, or a changing table, with one corner folded down about six inches.
Step Two
Place the baby on the blanket diagonally, head above the folded corner.
Step Three
Lift the bottom corner and bring it up over baby’s body, tucking it into the first swathe.
Step Four
Take the corner near the baby’s right arm and pull it over the arm and across the baby’s body. Lift the left arm, and tuck the blanket corner under baby’s back on the left side.
Step Five
Lift the last corner, bring it over baby’s left arm, and tuck it in under the back on the right side.
