Flat
Take a diaper of 70 x 70cm at birth, then 1.20 x 1.20m then. Pliez-le en pointe,en proportion d’un tiers-deux tiers.Place the toddler on the back, in the center, ensuring that the lage is at the level of Sesoreilles.
The rounded arm
Place his left arm along the body, Lecoude in a well -curved position and his hand flat on Sonventre. Attrapez le bout du tissu qui se situe dumême côté, amenez-le vers vous en faisant en sorted’étendre la fibre au maximum.
On the window
Couvrez son épaule avec le bord dulange en passant au niveau de son cou, faitesensuite passer le triangle de tissu en biais sur son ventre.You then have your hands crossed: your left hand always holds its left arm in a good position under Letssu.
Well -adjusted
Plate the tight lango on his chest andborded him, always palm, up to his flank.N’hésitez pas à bien ajuster le lange sur lecorps : il est important en effet que l’enfantsente le tissu qui l’enveloppe comme une chrysalideprotectrice.
In the back
Roll the infant gently on the side, smoothing the fabric behind his back. Vérifiezsoigneusement qu’il ne subsiste aucun pli : ceserait très inconfortable pour le tout-petit qui, pour sasécurité, doit absolument dormir sur le dos.
Under the buttocks
The edge of the Lange must also pass just under the armpit without fabric bead. Glissez ensuitela fin de la pointe sous ses fesses en les soulevantlégèrement.Do not hesitate to speak to the baby and read your gestures (especially the first times).
The other arm
The “siren method” leaves lelange open in terms of feet.So you just need to close the second point.As before, place his arm correctly, pass the scoring on his shoulder, then on his bust.
Firm
Top up your toddler completely.He must keep his legs flexible and slightly apart inside the swaddling.Indeed, it is not recommended that his legs are tightened one counter the other, because his hips must remainmobile.
Legs
Pour la « méthode avecjambes fermées », après avoir couvert lapremière épaule, on remonte la pointe du bas sur lebuste du nourrisson.Hold his right hand plated on her belly and then cover his right shoulder with the Ladem Pointe.
Like a caterpillar
Enveloppez-le en étirant l’étoffe etenroulez le lange dans le dos en soulevant sesfesses légèrement.The fabric holds alone, Sansattache, the baby moving little in the first months.Again, his legs should not be completely tense but mobile.
Free arm
La « méthodeaustralienne » consiste àlui laisserles mains libres, mais à l’intérieur du lange. Lebras est positionné vers le haut, on glisse sa main dans letissu (comme une chauve-souris!).Then we stretch the lapointe of the Lange to pass it on his belly then Sondos.
Mobile hands
On glisse son deuxième bras àl’intérieur du lange, qu’on enroule ensuite autourdu corps du nourrisson.It is very beneficial when the baby is larger: it can rub the tip of the nose oumâchouiller the tissue..

With what to swaddle our baby: Lange, blanket or envelope?
For swaddling, you can either turn to a baby Lange, or to a baby swaddling blanket, or an appeasement envelope.If there are several scoring sizes, it is easier not to choose one too large, but rather one of 70 x 70 cm.It is important in all cases to prefer breathable fabric, such as organic cotton or bamboo.If you prefer a swaddling blanket, you must pay particular attention to the fact that the baby's upper face is well wrapped but its legs remain relatively free.Finally, there is an appeasement envelope model, which makes it possible to position baby's legs brought back to the abdomen during swaddling.Our infant remains free to move even with this last possibility, which can stretch and move his legs.
