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.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
