This Is The Correct Way To Swaddle Your (Jewish) Baby
Meet Jenny Mollen.
Jenny Mollen is a (Jewish) actress, writer and comedian. She is married to Jason Biggs (not Jewish,) who played our very own Jim Levenstein in “American Pie.”
They recently had their second child, Laszlo.
If they look picture perfect, it’s because they are. Mollen and Biggs are a good reminder that while parenting is hard, it should be done perfectly, as a single mistake could ruin your child’s life forever.
Luckily, Mollen is willing to share her secrets. This week, Mollen released a series of photos documenting her parenting skills. In a series of carefully composed iPhone self-portraits, she demonstrates the perfect way to swaddle a baby. You can use the arrows on the photograph to click through the gallery and enjoy a full lesson in expert swaddling.
And there you have it. The proper way to swaddle a baby.
Mollen’s unorthodox parenting tutorial comes from her equally gasp-inducing Instagram, where she chronicles struggles in parenting with shocking honesty and humor. It’s funny, it’s gross, it’s modern Jewish motherhood.
