Baby Wrap: Back Carry

Back carries can be used from birth through toddlerhood. Baby will be happy to see the world from high on your back.
This is only one of many ways to get baby on your back. Please use a spotter or kneel on the ground or a bed while you're learning this technique.

Lay your wrap on the floor and place baby on the center. Pull the fabric tightly around baby on top, bottom and sides. Small babies may want their feet inside the wrap, while older babies may want them out. Hold fabric tightly in one hand.


----------


With a gentle movement pick the baby bundle up by the fabric and lower baby over your shoulder.
Lean forward and slide one side of the wrap over your head so it's over both your shoulders.


----------


Continue leaning forward and hold fabric tightly to secure baby against your back. Slip each side of the wrap under your armpits and hold them tightly against your body with your arms or hold securely between your knees. Bring each edge up over the opposite shoulder to make a cross in the front . . .


----------


and continue around your back to cross over your baby. Make sure this fabric is spread well over your baby's back.
For a young baby, bring edges to your front and tie. For an older baby tuck them between babies legs, bring to the front and tie.
