Swaddling clothes 襁褓 (the upper character has the fanqie: 姜兩 [qiǎng]; the lower has the fanqie: 補道 [bǎo]). The Huainanzi says: 'King Cheng was young and remained in swaddling clothes.' The Shuowen jiezi says: '襁 is a garment for carrying a child on the back; [褓] is a small child's blanket.' Both take 衣 ('clothing') as semantic, and 強 and 保 as phonetic. The edition under collation takes 糸 as semantic, writing 繈緥, which is incorrect.
