1. Lay your blanket diagonally on your bed or other semi hard secure surface. 
2. Fold the top corner down to create a straight edge at the top of the blanket. 
3. Lay the baby on the blanket so the straight edge of the blanket is under his / her neck. 
4. Take the right corner and fold it down across the front of the body, so it holds the baby's arm against the side of his / her body, tucking the blanket under the bottom of your baby on the left side. 
5. Take the bottom of blanket and fold it up to just about under your baby's chin. You may need to fold it down so it doesn't bunch up near your baby's face. 
6. Place your baby's other arm at his / her side and pull the fabric snuggly across the body to the other side. 
7. Wrap the remaining blanket underneath your baby to keep it from coming undone. 
8. See a happily swaddled baby!
