When I gave birth to my first baby a year ago, like any new mom I was excited and terrified at the same time. I was excited to hold him and terrified that I might drop him. I had to learn how to change a diaper and swaddle him again. I could not figure out how the hospital nurses swaddled him. It took me forever to learn how to swaddle him but I could never get it right. One day someone sent us swaddle blankets, the ones they were sort of pre-folded, so all I needed to do was to put one end of a Velcro to another and my baby was all swaddled in seconds.
Swaddle blankets are comfortable and easier to assemble. Some blankets are designed in such a way that all you have to do is to insert your baby inside. These swaddle blankets when opened are shaped sort of like an ice cream cone. You simply insert the baby and fold the flaps. Some swaddle blankets are already shaped like a diamond with Velcros and hooks that tell you which end goes with what.
