swaddle
Wrap an infant
To swaddle is to wrap snugly in cloth or blankets, especially an infant.
The practice calms newborns by mimicking the confinement of the womb: She swaddled the baby before laying him in the crib.
Swaddling clothes are the strips of cloth traditionally used for this purpose.
The word extends to anything wrapped tightly or protectively: mountains swaddled in mist.
