Abstract
A swaddling blanket serves to tightly wrap and enclose a young baby in a sheet of fabric to calm and soothe it. A swaddling blanket is a three-sided blanket that contains a pouch in the middle in which to contain the infant. The second portion of the blanket crosses over the front of the infant's torso, then is placed through a slit in the first portion of the blanket, and secured to the back of the blanket by cooperating hook and loop fasteners. The third portion of the blanket then crosses over the front of the infant's torso and chest, wraps around the entire body of the infant and is secured in the front by additional hook and loop fasteners.
