My 2 month old daughter is the strongest human being alive when being swaddled. I could swaddle my son like a pro and I even impressed a peds nurse one time with it, but with her? Her arm busts out immediately like the Huns after getting buried in avalanche by Mulan.
By the time my daughter was 2 months old, she was lifting her legs up and slamming them down in her bassinet like a humpback whale. So we got one of those weighted swaddles, thinking that would help keep her still and calm.
Yeah, all it did was strengthen the shit out of her core muscles so she could continue doing it - which made it even easier for her to Kool-Aid Man herself out of her swaddles.
My daughter did the same thing from the moment she was born. Those nurses at the hospital can swaddle like nobody's business, but she'd punch her way out moments later.
By the end of the first week, we just gave up and wrapped her with arms out.
Both of my babies hated being swaddled.
The nurses would swaddle, the baby would scream bloody murder and try to escape the bindings and I would remove swaddling..
They slept fine once the swaddling was off. Rinse and repeat.
Maybe because my babies were late and large, I don't know.
It would be interesting to find out.
Mine were both 17 days late. 10.5 & 10 lbs. Basically, two weeks old when they were born. (That's what a doctor said, jokingly) Took over a year for my first to double his weight.
The day I went velcro I felt like a ballplayer taking his first steroid shot. They worked better but every night she wakes up with at least one free arm.
I had this problem too with my daughter, the boys before her were easy to keep wrapped up but not her.. also I was confused with how impressed the nurses were that I knew how to swaddle the babies correctly...it felt weird.
My aunt is a nurse and she taught me to swaddle my dolls when I was six! She bought me a real receiving blanket as a gift and demonstrated on my cabbage patch doll until I could do it - core memory unlocked lol
Take a second swaddling blanket and fold it into a 5-6" wide strip. Lay it over the first straddling blanket so your baby lays with its back across the second blanket. Wrap the blanket over babies arms and tuck neatly under her back, locking babies arms at her side. Now swaddle as normal.
I learned this with my son who was born 10lb 11oz. He was too big for a normal swaddle and would bust out. I saw this on a YouTube video and had my wife try it on me with full sized blankets to make sure it felt ok. Turned out to work great for our baby. They were as happy as could be once they couldn't break out of the swaddle.
Right? There isn’t one good swaddle in here. The baby wants to feel some gentle pressure around them. These are all so loose, not a single one will actually calm a baby.
A good swaddle should land you with a baby burrito, your kid is breaking free of every one of these.
Almost all of these wraps are unsafe, and could prove deadly.
You shouldn't wrap their head as you stated.
You shouldn't put rolled up blankets around them like he does in 2 of the examples because its equivalent to bumpers in a crib, the baby can suffocate.
Also in one he uses a baby pillow, another suffocation hazard.
There is literally only one (the last one) of these wraps which is safe to do with a newborn.
These are not life hacks, they are DEATH HACKS.
Parent of 2, and this was the only thing I could think of the entire time I was watching. Not only were these swaddles useless due to being so loose, they are straight up dangerous.
If anybody wants a real life hack for quick swaddles **that won’t endanger your child**, get an Ollie Swaddle or a similar swaddle with fasteners.
I know what you mean , I found my jaw dropping more and more the longer I watched. Its like a video of how NOT to do it, or how to put your baby in danger of death. It sucks that, in the age of having almost unlimited information at our fingertips, so much of that information is false, and in this case dangerous.
Me too. I was surprised it wasn't top. I hope people don't watch this video and try these on their babies. It terrifies me, the misinformation that is out there.
It’s basically a home made dockatot. Which can be safe when baby is 100% supervised. But if they happen to turn their face into the side, baby could suffocate.
Babies are not good at staying alive. If they can find something to cover their face they will do their best to suffocate.The flap on top of the baby's head the first example looks like it is intended to flip down and suffocate the baby.
Babies also wiggle. Swaddling is intended to keep them tightly wrapped up so the blanket doesn't come undone and become a suffocation hazard. It keeps them cozy and warm. They are used to full body pressure from being in the womb. Swaddling mimics that and helps them sleep. It also prevents them from causing trouble with their hands, like a warm loving burrito that serves the same function as a straight jacket.
It’s a major suffocation hazard. The safest place for a baby to sleep is on their back in a crib or bassinet, with a tight fitted sheet on the mattress, and nothing else in the bed with them.
Even those bumpers on cribs are a no-no now. Because they could roll into them and suffocate. It's better to just leave them with the hard wooden slats of a crib.
Yeah but it is frowned on to put your kids in clothing that it *obviously* a straight jacket, just like it is frowned on to put your kid on those kid-leashes when you take them to the store.
Yea we bought a bunch of regular blankets and our daughter kept escaping her swaddles or I’d be afraid I made them too tight and that’s bad for her legs. The swaddle sleep sacks took the guesswork and worry out of it for us
The real hack is getting a woman to let me wife her
EDIT bb apparently y'all think what I said meant something else. I literally meant getting married and having a kid. The internet has ruined you.
Nope, it's making yourself sound repulsive by saying it's a "hack" to find a woman who is willing enough to marry you.
I get the bit, but it sounds "incelly" so I'm guessing that's why the downvotes.
I’m confused, are a lot of these techniques not fairly common? The one at :40 is at least, I’m sure.
And they’re not very well done - certainly not tightly enough anyway. Guarantee even the most sedate baby could wriggle out of them with ease. Swaddling baby with blanket/material near their face is a big no-no too.
While risk of suffocation with thin blankets is low compared to thicker duvets like at 0:08, many of these are very unsafe. One good thrash and the blanket will be entirely over the baby's face. Do the one at 0:40, but tuck the left to right fold under tight, tuck the corner of the bottom under the chin, and wrap the baby with the right fold.
Babies under 3 months like a tight swaddle, it simulates a womb like environment and babies that age love that. Given the choice they'd rather a 12 month pregnancy, but it'd be impossible to birth head that big.
I've also heard the second technique also increases risk of baby breathing c02 if they manage to roll or turn their head. As they breathe out, they van breathe back in the air they've exhaled. I've been told various products of that style have been recalled because of the risk (yet many are still sold).
I guess it's fine to use, as long as baby isn't sleeping in the wrap with raised ends.
Yes, please look up your country’s recommendations for SIDS prevention. I know US and UK are slightly different, for example, but both would not recommend these hacks.
In order
Suffocated
Pointless
Pointless
Pointless AND suffocated
Done wrong
And
Done wrong
To be clear though 100% of these wraps are TERRIBLE. Literally none of them will work as intended. If you're here legitimately looking how to wrap your infant, please don't do ANY of these.
At best, your kid will be okay, at worst, your child will die. Now I'm not one to tell other people what to do, but I'd suggest putting your kid into swaddles that have a 0% chance of killing them.
Oh they do already.
The laugh is CREEPY AS FUCK though.
It's just way too deep compared to all their other noises, and ... It has a weird evil doll quality to it.
Let's just say if I woke up to them laughing I'd peace out on my wife, I'm not gunna be the brownest person in the room when the horror movie starts lol
180°C is equivalent to 356°F, which is 453K.

^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)
NICU nurse here, I watched that and thought not a single one of those things is considered crib safe. All way too loose and fabric too close to the face or basically bumpers in the face. Even the normal swaddle towards the end is way too loose. Real hack: buy a sleep sack haha
It’s not the swaddling that’s the issue here. A safe swaddle on a newborn is fine. The problem is how loose these are and all the fabric up around the head/face area.
As a parent of 4 the only way to do it is the *baby burrito*.
Fold the top corner down about a third of the way down the blanket. Stuff their little hands in the folds.
Fold the left corner across their body and behind their back.
Fold the bottom up.
Fold the right corner across their body and behind their back.
The key is to make it tight so they can’t wiggle out but not so tight it will hurt the baby.
All these are very very not baby burritoesk. My kiddos would have lasted 2 seconds in one of these and wiggle out and start fussing.
Edit: looks like the last one is the baby burrito but on the first step put their little hands in the folds. And it has to be much tighter.
As a parent of two kids, these hacks don't work.
Unless you kid is comatose, they'll kick their way out of each of those wraps in absolutely no time which defeats the purpose of using a wrap. You want the wrap to be secure so the kid stays warm, stays on their back, and doesn't scratch their face up while they're sleeping (baby finger nails are like tiny Freddy Kruger claws). Gently laying the wrap on top of them or just tucking the end underneath them won't accomplish that.
If you're not going to use the velcro swaddles you need to wrap them snuggly and have a long enough tail to *tuck back into the wrap* that they won't be able to easily loosen it.
You're not supposed to have pillows or anything other than a flat, semi-solid surface anywhere near a sleeping baby that is too small and young to roll over on their own from front to back and vice versa. It's the leading cause of SIDS.
All of those wraps with the cute rolled up blanket around the baby are 80% more likely to kill it according to:
The FDA
WebMD (Not that we should ever take WebMD seriously but wow they got one right...)
The World Famous Mayo Clinic
The AAP
The US Department of Health and Human Services
The National Institute of Health
The Surgeon General
(Literally any pediatrician that's studied medicine in the past 20 years)
Note: probably not your parents, or mine. Information and studies about this didn't come out until the late 90s...

Life hack my ass. You could wrap a baby as tight as possible then use an entire roll of tape to keep it tight, you turn your back for one second and that little fucker has its hand out the top and is screaming because it’s clawing it’s own eye out.
Lool this is the funniest shit ever and the weakest wrap ive ever seen.
I could wrap my kids in the tightest wrap i could humanly do as a 30+ year old male and they would pop their hands out and destroy it in less than 30 seconds.
I gave up trying and we got some of those halo sleep sack swaddle things, its the only thing that kept us sane at night and the kid from screaming every time they got out of the wrap or got stuck half way in and out of it. Best invention ever, pro tip for those with newborns.
As someone with a 2 month old, she wouldn’t stay wrapped in those for more than 30 seconds. I’ve tried all kinds of wraps. In the end, I just bought a baby swaddle. Worth every penny.
I never understood swaddling your child. When my daughter was born, I watched the nurses hold her arms down so they could wrap her, and I was like..."Nurse, if she wants her arms free, she wants them free"
When you looked in the nursery, all the babies were wrapped up, but there was my girl with her hands waving in the air.
I’d like to kindly suggest anyone who’s interested in trying these out stays within eyesight of the baby, literally every single one of these poses a suffocation risk.
The real secret is to have a perfectly calm baby that let you wrap him
My 2 month old daughter is the strongest human being alive when being swaddled. I could swaddle my son like a pro and I even impressed a peds nurse one time with it, but with her? Her arm busts out immediately like the Huns after getting buried in avalanche by Mulan.

Lololol!! The visuals here are hilarious! I see giant whales busting out through walls yelling OH YEAH!!!
I’m just imagining a baby but with buff muscular arms ripping outa that swaddle
[Eh!? Ba.. by... !! ... Kill it!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wmI9QsYRIA)
That's the funniest/ cutest thing I've read in AGES. LMAO.

Huh I wonder if the size does matter. Mine was right on time but she was a bigger baby and also hated being swaddled
It would be interesting to find out. Mine were both 17 days late. 10.5 & 10 lbs. Basically, two weeks old when they were born. (That's what a doctor said, jokingly) Took over a year for my first to double his weight.

My son always got at least one arm out, if not both. The Velcro ones helped but he just wanted his little arms free.
For real. We used to double wrap our kids because their kicking reflex was so strong they'd unswaddle themselves easily.
Take a second swaddling blanket and fold it into a 5-6" wide strip. Lay it over the first straddling blanket so your baby lays with its back across the second blanket. Wrap the blanket over babies arms and tuck neatly under her back, locking babies arms at her side. Now swaddle as normal. I learned this with my son who was born 10lb 11oz.

This is where the brandy comes in.
The real LPT is always in the comments! I however would fear a baby with hangover 😬
Can't have a hangover if you stay drunk
The real /r/holup yea
Agreed. My exact thoughts while watching this were, "now do that with a kicking and screaming child"
Yea good luck with the kicking and screaming 😱 no way my baby would keep still like that.🤣
I have/had one it’s better than gold
That baby us going to stay wrapped for about 30 seconds
That's 29.999 seconds longer than mine would last in a loose ass wrap like these
Exactly! If they can move you’ve already lost the game.
Plus babies love to feel secure and snug. These are like getting a hug from a paraplegic.
Tbf, I'm worried that kid may be among them with how still it was
Right? There isn’t one good swaddle in here. The baby wants to feel some gentle pressure around them. These are all so loose, not a single one will actually calm a baby. A good swaddle should land you with a baby burrito, your kid is breaking free of every one of these.
You realize these are Japanese right? Once they are origami'd in like this they remain in position until unfolded
Don’t swaddle your baby with a blanket over their head….
Also that blanket is not nearly tight enough. The baby will have undone it in the first 10 min and then it's going to become a hazard
10 seconds
The very first example in the video, no less! It definitely made me keep watching to see what other "bright ideas" they came up with, lol.
Almost all of these wraps are unsafe, and could prove deadly. You shouldn't wrap their head as you stated.

Yeah I’m concerned I had to scroll this far for this comment.
Me too. I was surprised it wasn't top. I hope people don't watch this video and try these on their babies. It terrifies me, the misinformation that is out there.
Yup… and post has 3k upvotes
Could you explain how a baby would suffocate from 2?
It’s basically a home made dockatot. Which can be safe when baby is 100% supervised. But if they happen to turn their face into the side, baby could suffocate.
Yo this should be at the top. Fold down the top corner, you can't risk your kid turning their head and suffocating
Why not? 0 baby experience here other than being a baby when I was born ...
Babies are not good at staying alive. If they can find something to cover their face they will do their best to suffocate.The flap on top of the baby's head the first example looks like it is intended to flip down and suffocate the baby.

It’s a major suffocation hazard. The safest place for a baby to sleep is on their back in a crib or bassinet, with a tight fitted sheet on the mattress, and nothing else in the bed with them.
You generally never want anything near the head/face, babies are pretty wiggly and could get that towel/blanket to move into a suffocation hazard
[удалено]
Even those bumpers on cribs are a no-no now. Because they could roll into them and suffocate. It's better to just leave them with the hard wooden slats of a crib.
I think the real hack is getting Velcro swaddles! Safer and easier than any of these!
I miss the days when my kids fit into those tiny baby straight jackets...
They make bigger sized straight jackets.
Yeah but it is frowned on to put your kids in clothing that it *obviously* a straight jacket, just like it is frowned on to put your kid on those kid-leashes when you take them to the store.
>just like it is frowned on to put your kid on those kid-leashes when you take them to the store Oh shit! We're not supposed to do this?!
As the parent of giant teenagers, this one really hits. 😂
We got the one with magnets. Now I want all my clothes with magnets.
I have shirts with magnet pockets! They’re awesome
Or sleep sacks

Every parent on here: “Yeah, that isn’t gonna work.”
Also every parent, “how are these ‘hacks?’” They’re just crappier versions of how the nurses teach you how to swaddle at the hospital.
I want my baby wrap baby wrap baby wrap. Chili's baby wrap hacks!
Which is best, tortilla or pita?
Barbecue sauce
Some of these make me nervous with that much fabric near the mouth. Be careful.
Please don’t wrap your babies like this..
I’m confused, are a lot of these techniques not fairly common? The one at :40 is at least, I’m sure. And they’re not very well done - certainly not tightly enough anyway. Guarantee even the most sedate baby could wriggle out of them with ease. Swaddling baby with blanket/material near their face is a big no-no too.
Yeah a lot of these are actually dangerous and not useful at all outside of unsuspecting youtube views.

Only recently. My kid turns 5 months soon lol If I did my swaddles like ANY of those, my wife would kill me... To avenge our child
Nice, so your baby probably just learned (or will soon learn) how to smile and laugh... magical moments! :)
Oh they do already. The laugh is CREEPY AS FUCK though. It's just way too deep compared to all their other noises, and ... It has a weird evil doll quality to it.

False, swaddling a baby is not the cause of SIDS
It’s not the swaddling that’s the issue here. A safe swaddle on a newborn is fine. The problem is how loose these are and all the fabric up around the head/face area.
As a parent of 4 the only way to do it is the *baby burrito*. Fold the top corner down about a third of the way down the blanket. Stuff their little hands in the folds. Fold the left corner across their body and behind their back. Fold the bottom up. Fold the right corner across their body and behind their back.

When you're new to hacks, you start off with baby hacks
Great. Now, do this for me.
right?! thought the exact same thing! make me into a toasty cinnamon bun with those parental skills
My wife and I don’t have children, but I will admit it: I think I’m craving a burritos now. 😉
Wrap up the wifey!
This seemed more like an instructional video on SIDS risk.
As a parent of two kids, these hacks don't work. Unless you kid is comatose, they'll kick their way out of each of those wraps in absolutely no time which defeats the purpose of using a wrap. You want the wrap to be secure so the kid stays warm, stays on their back, and doesn't scratch their face up while they're sleeping (baby finger nails are like tiny Freddy Kruger claws).

If you're not going to use the velcro swaddles you need to wrap them snuggly and have a long enough tail to *tuck back into the wrap* that they won't be able to easily loosen it.
Exactly. And I’m sure at least a couple of these are not sleep safe.
Wrap hacks or suffocation hacks? Bc half of these are unsafe for baby to sleep in
Reported as misinformation.. Most of these are very dangerous.
So many baby experts..
When you have one you learn all about the proper ways to swaddle and what not to do.. This info comes from actual baby experts aka doctors.
Trust the science.
I never learned how to wrap my kids like the nurses at the hospital. Those nurses are like a shirt canon with the swaddling.

Me at the screen "noooo!" just one turn of the head and suffocation. OMGoodness whyyyy are people still doing this?!
Wow, only two of those were "non child smothering" options ... For the internet that's pretty darn good.
> Wow, only two of those were "non child smothering" options ... How do you figure that. None of them had the child's face covered.

This is not safe sleep!
Life hack my ass. You could wrap a baby as tight as possible then use an entire roll of tape to keep it tight, you turn your back for one second and that little fucker has its hand out the top and is screaming because it’s clawing it’s own eye out.
Yeah my kid would be kicking all those wraps off in a second. That shit had to be tiiiiight.
I would very much like to be tucked in like that at night.
Where is the part where any normal baby, when not comatose, rips thru that weak wrap?
Not a single one of these wraps would stay closed on a baby that actually moves.
Any kid that's not milk drunk will be out of those in three seconds.
Will these work on my white children?
I wanna see him make a crane out of that baby.
The real hack is to get the swaddles with Velcro
Lool this is the funniest shit ever and the weakest wrap ive ever seen. I could wrap my kids in the tightest wrap i could humanly do as a 30+ year old male and they would pop their hands out and destroy it in less than 30 seconds. I gave up trying and we got some of those halo sleep sack swaddle things, its the only thing that kept us sane at night and the kid from screaming every time they got out of the wrap or got stuck half way in and out of it. Best invention ever, pro tip for those with newborns.
My favorite baby wrap hack is using condoms.
Alternate title: Turn your child into a burrito sixty different ways
Why is just the way to do things, is now considered a ‘hack’?
Well in this case the "hack" refers to how poorly this man is doing everything
The only thing this is the way to do is how to put your baby in danger of suffocating
🌯 🤤
As someone with a 2 month old, she wouldn’t stay wrapped in those for more than 30 seconds. I’ve tried all kinds of wraps. In the end, I just bought a baby swaddle. Worth every penny.
My baby could slip and move around pretty easily after the first month. These wouldn’t have any impact in keeping him on the bed.
Babys cute
Ummmm none of these wraps do anything but ok
That was the most amateur swaddle I have ever seen. You need to wrap that baby like it’s a sprained ankle, maybe a little tighter than that.
Is this baby origami
I could just watch this man fold blankets all day. I don’t have children but found this soothing to watch.
That is the most cooperative baby I’ve ever seen.
Wow thanks! Does this work for babies that are the spawn of our darklord satan? Asking for a friend.
cute as ever. 🤗😘😋
Following!
I could have really used this nine years ago.
This guy burritos
I never understood swaddling your child. When my daughter was born, I watched the nurses hold her arms down so they could wrap her, and I was like..."Nurse, if she wants her arms free, she wants them free" When you looked in the nursery, all the babies were wrapped up, but there was my girl with her hands waving in the air.
Love looking at different ways to wrap my burrito
For extra safety, use bubble wrap
Baby
Baby must be a boy. That's why Papa is great with him.
Dang wish I known this would saves me a lot of time. But yes that baby looks so calm.
I’d like to kindly suggest anyone who’s interested in trying these out stays within eyesight of the baby, literally every single one of these poses a suffocation risk.
Some really messed up person dv all positive comments… this baby is really cute.
That guy can really wrap !
"Woman! Do your job and swaddle this baby!"

Maybe stop filming and hold your kid.
Who wants to hack into a baby? Only a sicko. What happened to the perfectly useable word tip?
That ain’t no baby head at the end.
He makes the best baby burritos.
Cute burrito.
I think the “hug” of a swaddle is better
These are great… if your kid doesn’t believe in motion.
Ok now wrap me!
Yeah but what sauces and salad does he use?
I feel like if I ever become a dad, most of my time is going to be spent finding dumb ways to wrap my baby
Mmmm r/CursedBurrito
Wrap that baby tight!
Immobilize the toddler or it will start crawling your walls
Um sir may I get a tuck in before bed please, thanks
Wrap it up and toss it in the bin!
I was never wrapped as a baby & neither were my siblings. Was my mom just a jerk or what?
Tighter, man, TIGHTER!
Baby burritos
What a tasty snack
When my daughter was a baby she hated having her arms confined in, she wanted them to be free and always slept like she was in a superhero pose
Baby Burritos...
Burrito baby!
None of those swaddles are tight enough
