The shorter "arm" of the blanket should lay to your right with the cover for your baby's left arm resting on it.

Lay your baby on the main section of the blanket. Position him so that the tops of his shoulders are even with the top of the Miracle Blanket.

Wrap your baby's arms with the Miracle Blanket arm covers. Bring the cover for his right arm over his arm and tuck it under his back. Do the same for his left arm. His arms should be snug by his sides but be careful not to wrap his arms too tight.

I don't understand why the blanket shouldn't be used in the first weeks. My baby was born four weeks early, and the NICU ward used a Miracle Blanket on her until she came home from the hospital and recommended that I continued using them until she was five months old (four months adjusted). It worked wonders for us and I can't imagine gong those early weeks without it! -
