An easy method, especially handy if your child is already quite big or quite heavy.<\/p>\n

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

1. Hold the child at your side, supporting them on your hip.<\/p>\n

2. Bending down to support their weight, pass your arm over your baby and hold them firmly, slowly turning them toward your back.<\/p>\n

3. Using both of your hands, bring the child to the center of your back. Throughout this whole process you should stay bent forward so that the child rests on your back.<\/p>\n

4. You should always have at least one arm around your baby until you “secure” them with the sling and the babywearing method you have chosen.<\/p>\n

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

Hip method (1.53 MB)<\/p>\n

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

Instructions with wrap<\/p>\n

Instructions with mei tai<\/p>\n

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