How to swaddle an active baby

This swaddle works best for "Houdini" babies from about 2 to 6 months who are active enough to get out of an ordinary swaddle. When folding the blanket around the arms, take care that it is not too tight as the last step keeps the arms secure. Note: Once the baby gets beyond about 6 months (and tall), the last step of this procedure is different: you have to pull the swaddle blanket up between the legs, up to around the shoulders, and then tuck corners under the baby to complete the procedure.

Omg he's cute!! :) Haha, "We wrap those--" kick kick kick "--over the baby's legs, like so..." That is a very interesting swaddle technique, never seen that before.

@Aquahorseify I mention in the video that the baby is a little too large for this swaddle. We chose to do this, however, for our friends who were expecting. Not sure where you could get a blanket like the one we have other than Nordstrom. Good luck!
