How to Wear a Tiny Baby

So, you want to carry your baby hands free? Here's how! I'm using a 5 yard x about 22in. guaze material for this wrap.


Okay, This is going to be confusing, because I couldn't upload all the photos at once and ended up with things a little out of order. Many thanks to baby Marcus (3wks old), who left his mother's warm arms to let me use him for the demo.

These are directions for using a wrap for a front carry with an infant. Please scroll down and find #1.




#6. It should look something like this. Make sure it's not too tight. You need room for baby.

#7 Pull both ends around to the back again.
#8 Tie
#9 Baby will sit on the X on your chest. Bigger babies will have one leg out either side. Tiny babies can tuck their feet up in. Put a tiny baby in one side at a time and spread wrap over baby's back.
#10 For added support, you can pull the waist band up over baby. The shoulder straps can be pulled over baby's head for support.


#1 Put center of wrap at your waist.














#2 Cross wrap in the back.













#3 Try to keep as flat as possible while pulling each end up over your shoulders.













#4 Cross at your chest.












#5 Put the ends through the waistband. Scroll back up to the top for continued directions.

I'm so glad you posted this info. Just in case I may have a little one again. I was impressed at the homeschool convention when you did it.
