Mei Tai: Front Carry

Micki's Wing
From birth to toddlerhood, the front carry is wonderful way to wear or nurse your baby.

Tie your mei tai on as if you were wearing an apron.

Place baby over the carrier and pull the body up between baby's legs. Make sure baby's bottom is in the center. Drape the upper straps over your shoulders.

While holding baby with your left hand, use your right hand to reach behind you and pull the left strap around to your front. Switch hands and repeat with opposite strap.

Spread the shoulder straps out. Your back should look like this.

With one strap in each hand pull tightly and wiggle it a little to settle baby snugly in the bottom of the carrier.

You can now bring the straps either over or under baby's bottom to tie it in a knot.

You're done!

For younger babies or for a little more support tie the knot behind baby's back.
