Ten years ago application of a different way of swaddling, than hard was impossible.

Instruction
1. Up to two months the kid has to be in diapers, it is connected only with the fact that integuments very thin and gentle, and seams, even external, on romper suit and baby's undershirts can injure the kid. After two months at normal development of the child it is possible to refuse swaddling at all, but not earlier than.
2. Swaddling can be hard, free and wide. Supporters of hard swaddling (generally people of the senior generation) claim that at hard swaddling the child lies quietly, does not wake up from involuntary movements of handles and legs. A statement that at such way of swaddling krivenky legs of the kid, very doubtfully become straight. The curvature of legs can be symptom of rickets and a lack of an organism of the child of vitamin D. It is possible to refer to negative properties of hard swaddling also that blood circulation of the child is broken, and prolonged use can cause dystrophy of muscles at all.

6. Without diaper wrap up with a light wide diaper a lower body, and bend the free end and fix under mice. The kid bends legs in knees, and presses handles to a breast, that is he accepts an embryo pose in which to it all nine months were comfortable.
7. Of course, if the child very active, hardly falls asleep because handles and legs constantly move, it is possible to swaddle him and a hard way. Only the child should be exempted regularly from "fetters" and to do light massage for blood circulation restoration.
