If you'd rather swaddle your newborn in a stylish cloth, you may want to check out CozyCocoon. You can even get a leopard print swaddling cloth!
Or, if you prefer, you could also do it on your own by using a normal blanket. How? Here are instructions from babycenter on how to swaddle your newborn with a blanket:
- Lay a blanket on a flat surface and fold down the top-right corner about 6 inches.
- Place your baby on his back with his head on the fold.
- Pull the corner near your baby's left hand across his body, and tuck the Leading edge under his back on the right side under the arm.
- Pull the bottom corner up under your baby's chin.
- Bring the loose corner over your baby's right arm and tuck it under the back on his left side. Some babies prefer to have their arms free, so you may prefer to swaddle your child under the arms so he has access to his hands and fingers.
Try it out on your newborn and see what his/her preference is.

I thought self-promotion (above) wasn't allowed.... cocooon thing looks slick, but her website doesn't have anything that's not already played out in US:(

This product is used by Celebs for their babies too and the beauty of this swaddle is that it can also be used as a sleeping bag.
