Babywearing basics – front wrap cross carry with a twist

4 weeks old! ( newborn )

Wrap: Yaro slings La Fleur Summer Rainbow size 6

Using a ringsling with a newborn baby
With a flip at the back.

Ringsling: Kokadi Erna in Wunderland WCRS

Legs out, head supported, high enough to kiss, airways free!

Reason why I like the flipped back:
– easier to pull the toprail up high without it digging in your armpit
– more symmetrical positioning of your baby, because of the direction of the bottom rail.

Practice with a spotter (friend or partner)
Practice with a stuffed animal or doll first.
