TUMMY TO TUMMY
This is an excellent position for helping digestion, avoiding regurgitation and soothing your baby's colics.
This position is recommended at birth. For babies that can’t yet hold up their head, the material can be raised to support the head. However, older babies like to look out at the world instead of having their head covered by material.
The legs are straddled, one in front and one behind. An ideal position for avoiding hip problems of the wearer. The weight of the baby is comfortably distributed across the back and the shoulders of the wearer.
You can also breastfeed in this position
For smaller or sleeping babies or in cold weather, you can cover her legs, arms and head with the fabric, for additional support and protection.
1. Pick up your baby, with baby facing out.
2. Slide his leg through the inner strap.
3. Then slide the other leg. To make it easier, you can fold his leg a little bit or bend him slightly to the side, for bigger
4. Spread out both straps to create a comfortable sitting area.
5. Pull the fabric up, with the pocket over your baby. On cold days or to provide additional support, you can cover her legs and arms with the fabric.
VARIATION: For smaller babies (3 months - 1 year) you can cross his legs and sit him, bottom first, in the cross former by the straps (kangaroo hold, Buddha hold). This way, weight is not supported by his genital parts.
Imitates the natural position of the arms around the baby while rocking him.
Ideal for little naps and for breastfeeding.
For bigger children, the legs can go outside the material
1. Spread the inner
strap wide open over your shoulder and arm.
2. Fold this strap in half to create a pocket between the two layers of
fabric.
3. Carefully slide your baby down into the pocket, starting with his bottom,
then his head and his legs.
4. Spread the outer strap over his legs and your shoulder, to provide
support and safety.
5. Pull the pocket up over your baby. To increase your comfort, spread
the fabric over your back and shoulders.
NOTE: To breastfeed in this position, you will have better results if
you take the baby’s lower arm out of the carrier, putting her arm
between your arm and the side of your body.
BACK CARRY
The front of your body is completely free so that you can carry out your activities or carry your child for a long time (go for walks, etc.)
Children love to "horseback ride".
This position must be used when baby can sit independently. For this position you require help from another adult. Don’t try to use this position or to take baby out of this position alone. It’s a wonderful carry for older babies.
2. Helped by another adult, slide your baby
through both straps. Think of your wrap as an “X”. Each
leg should be on either side of the “X”.
3. Starting with the inner strap, spread the fabric over your baby’s
bottom, to create a comfortable sitting area.
4. Pull the fabric up, with the pocket over
your baby’s back. To increase your comfort, spread the fabric
over your back and shoulders.
For smaller or sleeping babies or in cold weather, you can cover his
legs, arms and head with the fabric, to offer additional support and
protection.
