swaddled
Tightly wrapped up
Swaddled means wrapped snugly in cloth or blankets, especially an infant bound in strips of fabric to restrict movement.
The practice calms newborns by mimicking the confinement of the womb: The nurse swaddled the baby tightly.
Extended uses suggest being enveloped or cocooned: swaddled in layers of wool against the cold.
