Abstract: A method for swaddling and a baby garment having pouches along opposite sides of the baby garment sufficiently large to accommodate enclosing a baby's arm. The pouch has openings that can be closed so as to allow the arms to be free while the baby is awake, and secure the arms inside the pouch against the baby's body while the baby is sleeping. The pouches can be opened and closed with typical fasteners. The pouches can have some elasticity to allow the pouches to stretch.
