Grandma's Know the Power of Swaddling a Baby

When our daughter was pregnant and I was feeling rusty in handling crying babies, my daughter invited me to a class on newborn baby care with her.  It was good to hear the medical techniques that are now known and shared with these new moms, rather than trial and error as in another time and place.  I was entranced by a video on swaddling  a baby by "The Happiest Baby on the Block" people.  They took a crying, fussing baby ( I mean really fussing!) and calmed it like magic.  Maybe this is just what Grandma's have always known about the power of swaddling a baby!
