Anti-Jumping Reflex Wrap
This method prevents your baby from being startled by the startle jump reflex and increases your baby's sense of security. The specific steps are as follows:

Fold one corner of the washcloth down.
Place the baby on it at shoulder level.
Fold the bottom of the washcloth upward and the excess downward.
Pull the right side of the towel to the left and the left side to the right.
Tuck the excess behind baby's back.
Wrapping around the body
This method simulates a mother's embrace, providing a sense of security for your baby, and is suitable for allowing your baby to sleep on his or her side to prevent spitting up. The steps are as follows:

Fold the bath towel in half and roll it into a strip from bottom to top.
Wrap one side of the rolled bath towel around the baby's thighs and around the baby's behind to encircle the baby.
Windproof wrapping method
This method is suitable for small-month-old baby out of the wind and sun use, pay attention to not wrap too tight. Specific steps are as follows:

One corner of the bath towel folded downward wrapped around the baby's head.
Pull the left side of the towel to the right and the bottom to the upper right corner.
Tuck the excess under the baby.
Anti-flatulence Bath Towel Usage
This method can help relieve your baby's flatulence and is suitable for keeping your baby on his/her back during the day. The steps are as follows:

Fold the bath towel in half and roll it into a long strip from top to bottom.
Fold the long strip in half to increase the thickness.
Allow your baby to lie on his/her back to relieve flatulence.
Other tips and precautions
To make the bath towel wrap more securely and beautifully, try the following:

Start by folding a small edge of the wide side end of the washcloth outward before wrapping it around your body.
When you reach the end of the wrap, tuck the last of the bath towel into the edge of the small side. Take care to wrap the towel around the body first, then turn the interface to the “outside” twice to increase friction and prevent the towel from falling apart.
