How to make a baby burrito

Look out Martha Stewart, today we are going to learn how to make a baby burrito.

Here's the ingredients for your shopping list:
1 small baby
1 medium-sized warm square blanket
1 small hat
2 gentle hands
1 heaping cup of patience
2 squirts of Purell
1 pinch of help

Step 1: Find your baby.

Step 2: Apply Purell liberally on your hands to sanitize.

Step 3: Take your warm blanket and fold the top corner over a quarter of the way down. Now, you will ask that "your pinch of help" to hold up the baby so that you can lay down the blanket under him / her with the folded-over corner underneath the baby's upper back.

Step 4: As the blanket has been placed like a diamond under the baby, pull the left side of the blanket over the baby and tuck in under the baby gently. Now, take the bottom of the blanket and pull it up towards the baby. Finally, pull the right side of the blanket up over the bottom part of the blanket that you just pulled up and tuck it under the left shoulder of the baby. Place appropriately-sized hat on the baby's head. (Yes, the example pictures skip this part - sneaky, sneaky!)


Step 5: Remember to have the baby's hands brought up towards the baby's face in the burrito wrap as this is good for the baby developmentally-speaking.


Step 6: Now, have your "pinch of help" hold the baby while you make a karate chop motion over the baby burrito.


Step 7: Ignore step 6. Hopefully, you read all of these instructions in full before starting to make your baby burrito.

Step 8: Examine the quality of your baby burrito.


Step 9: Have the baby admire you for your skills in wrapping.



Step 10: Ignore the first 9 steps and call a nurse for help. :)
