So the mei tai, I’m going to tie on like I’m putting on an apron. I’m going to tie it in a knot in my back – it’s pretty easy to untie. I tie it like this so that when I bring the fabric up, I’ve got this nice pouch here so baby can’t fall through. So again, if I’ve got a newborn baby who’s not splaying their legs, I’m just going to either froggy the legs or they're just going to cross them underneath – whatever’s comfortable to them. Bring the fabric up, throw the straps over, I’m going to cross them behind my back, nice and snug, I don’t want there to be any space between me and baby. And then while baby’s legs are in I’m going to tie it right behind baby’s back so that baby doesn’t slouch and that there’s no way that baby could flip out of the side. Okay, if baby’s awake they can look around, if baby’s asleep I can have this up. Again very comfortable, very functional.
