A method that’s well suited if this is one of the first ones you’re trying, since you hold your child throughout the whole process and that helps you feel more secure.<\/p>\n

Note: In the photos below I’m already 6.5 months pregnant and my Vasilis weighs 15 kilos!<\/p>\n

1. Hold your child in your arms.<\/p>\n

2. With one hand hold them under the chest (or by the arms) and with the other under the nappy (between their legs).<\/p>\n

3. Supporting the baby’s weight with the hand holding the nappy, bring their legs up over your shoulder\u2026<\/p>\n

4. \u2026 so that your child is now resting on your shoulder. Their legs will hang down your back and their head will be in front of you.<\/p>\n

5. Hold your baby by the arms\u2026<\/p>\n

6. \u2026 and bring one arm around your neck so that your baby “hugs” you.<\/p>\n

7. From this position you can continue with the babywearing method you’ve chosen.<\/p>\n

The same instructions are also available in the video below:<\/p>\n

Note: If you’re having trouble viewing the videos, you can right-click to save them to your computer and watch them from there \u2014 they’ll open much faster.<\/p>\n

The above is a way to “get” your baby onto your back. To wear them in a baby carrier or with a simple piece of fabric (and keep your hands free), you’ll find the relevant instructions for back carries on the following pages:<\/p>\n

Instructions with a wrap<\/p>\n

Instructions with a mei tai<\/p>\n

Instructions with a sarong, scarf, or whatever else you have to “improvise” with<\/p>\n
