Babywearing basics
Tutorials for some basic carries to start with
Frontcarry with a stretchy
Jersey / Elastic wrap with a one week old
pre-tied PWCC with shoulderflips
This way the fabric isn’t covering the airways and the wrap is snugger at the neck, creating better support for a newborn.
Wrap = Manduca Sling
Frontcarry with a woven wrap
Front carry where the baby is positioned slightly off center
One knee a bit higher than the other, back fully supported.
This carry feels more natural to me with a newborn, as it resembles the ‘in arms’ position I’d use without a wrap
Wrap: Bykay
size 6 (my base size)
Frontcarry with a woven wrap + nursing

Wrap: Didymos lisca rainbow
Size 6 (base size)
Double Hammock
A great backcarry for your heavy toddler as the chestpass helps to distribute the weight.
Not the best choice for leg-straighteners.
This finish is a great way to get some extra tension and keep the shoulderstraps from slipping of your shoulders.
Wrap: POP by Artipoppe Cloud
I’m using a size 6 woven wrap (4.7m)
Frontcarry with a ringsling (rings on the back)
