Swaddling clothes
Here's something that I didn't know before. A good way to soothe a baby is to tightly wrap her in a blanket. This is called "swaddling." Apparently it reminds the baby of the time she spent in utero before birth--a calm time indeed.
In any case, Katy seems to like being swaddled, but she just hates the part where she is actually wrapped up. She will kick and flail her arms and wail until she's snug, and then. . . silence.
The nurses in the hospital called it, "a baby burrito."
