Nobody is born knowing how to swaddle. Ask the hospital or birthing center that serves Old Cloverdale whether its childbirth or newborn classes include dads, and practice on a doll before the big day. Once the baby is home, claim a routine of your own — bath, bottle or burp duty — so caring for your child becomes second nature.
