    To do a secure swaddle, follow these steps:
    1. Fold down the top corner of a blanket, and place baby in the middle (with feet pointing down toward the middle of the triangle).
    2. Pick up a side corner and wrap it over baby's opposite shoulder and tuck it under her back.
    3. Fold the bottom corner of the blanket up to baby's stomach or chest.
    4. Fold the last remaining corner over baby's other shoulder and tuck it under her back.
    5. Instant cocoon!
