We spent yesterday evening at the "Baby Basics" class at the hospital where we learned what babies looked like back in the 70s, were told to change a diaper on a practice plastic baby, and were taught to swaddle. After watching this video that Jenn pointed me to a few weeks ago, I'm tempted to practice on the cats, though I don't know if any of them would be nearly as pliant.

you'll be great .. infant babies arent like cats - not nearly so mobile ... mine loved being swaddled the first several weeks - mustve reminded them of being tucked in tight in the womb ... i'd talk to them in a low, slow calm voice (imitate 'the guy who paints happy trees' on pbs) and look right in their eyes with wide smile ... it doesnt matter much what you say, but i always talked about encouraging things (i think it was for me more than them) ... as for the swaddling, lay the blanket thing out like abaseball diamond .. stick their butt around the pitchers mound ... lift home plate up towards their tummy .. grab third base and wrap it towards first base, tucking it under their back snuggly ... then wrap first base around to where third use to be and tuck it snug around back ... lift the baby and let the flap where second base is fall down towards their back, almost like a mini elvis jowl hider (vegas comeback show) ...
