Infants: Make a "Baby Burrito"

Many parents find that their new addition sleeps better when she is wrapped like a burrito.

It works best on babies up to four months old, but some may enjoy it a little longer. All you need is a blanket slightly larger than your little one, such as a square, cotton receiving blanket.
