How to use a stretchy wrap carrier
There’s two different kinds of wrap – there’s the stretchy wrap like this one, which is kind of like a t-shirt material, it looks like a lot of fabric and it is, but it’s very easy. So I find my middle, I’m going to cross it behind my back, so I’m going to make an X on my back, I’m going to make an X on my front and I’m going to stuff these through my middle there, so now I’ve got an X on my back, twist it, an X on my front. And then I usually tie it on the side, so I can sit down and eat. Get baby up in burp position. You can keep legs in or out depending on what your baby likes. I’m going to put one leg through, switch to the other side, other leg, let baby settle in. I’m going to pull this fabric all the way across baby, all the way to the hollow of baby’s knees, so baby’s in a nice seated position. Got a lot of fabric here to work with. And then this extra comber bun at the bottom, again I can tuck the feet in or I can leave them out, just adds a little bit of extra security. Really comfortable on your back, you can kind of stretch this out, again you can catch baby’s head, get a nice sleeping nap in there.
