<\/div>\n

This position is suitable for babies who can comfortably support their head<\/strong> (around 3 months).<\/p>\n

The age at which your baby will no longer fit in this position varies from baby to baby depending on their weight and their flexibility. (My son stopped liking the Buddha position with the legs inside at around 6.5 months of age, my daughter felt very comfortable this way even when she was 11 months old)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"How<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Put on your wrap in such a way that it forms an opening\/pocket in front of you. See the relevant instructions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_2\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Take your baby in your arms and hold them in front of you, facing outward. “Fold” their little legs against their tummy. (Make sure their back rests against your chest, so that they don’t lean forward).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_3\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> With one hand open the pocket in front of you and slowly lower your little one down in front of you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_4\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Place your little one inside the pocket, letting their bottom go down and their back be supported against your chest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_5\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Pull up the outer side of the pocket well and make sure that your little one has gone as deep as they could (you don’t want to feel later that they are “slipping” lower).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_6\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> The baby’s bottom will be the lowest point inside the “pocket”, their little legs will remain high up on their tummy. Make sure there is enough fabric between you and the baby (a deep pocket).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_7\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> Supporting your baby with one hand, pull the outer (upper) side of the one end that hangs from your shoulder.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_8\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> This will result in tightening the outer side of the pocket (in front of the baby’s legs) from the opposite side.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_9\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> Do the same on the other side too, so that the pocket becomes as tight as you want and hugs your baby well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_10\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

10.<\/strong> When both ends are tight enough, your baby should be “hugged” by the fabric, like a second skin over them. Holding the two ends of the wrap stretched out in front of you should normally be enough to keep your baby where you have placed them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_11\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

11.<\/strong> With one hand you will support your baby (always keeping one end stretched) and with the other you will spread the other end well in front of the baby’s little legs and under their bottom.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_12\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

12.<\/strong> The goal is to gradually guide this end under the baby and towards your back.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_13\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

13.<\/strong> Now switch hands and do the same on the other side.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_14\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

14.<\/strong> The two sides of the wrap will cross, forming an X in front of your little one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_15\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

15.<\/strong> Guide the two ends towards your back and tie a knot there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_16\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> If the knot on your back bothers you (or if you intend to sit down and it presses on your lower back) you can tie the fabric at your side, above your hip. In this case you can start not from the center of the fabric, but leave one side a little longer!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\"buddha_17\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n
\n
\"buddha_18\"<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

 <\/p>\n

16.<\/strong> You’re ready for walks! Babies particularly like this position because it gives them the chance to look ahead and discover the world!<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> Take a closer look in this photo at how high up the baby’s little legs are, crossed on their chest or on their tummy. The baby’s bottom will be the lowest part of their body in the pocket of your wrap.<\/p>\n
