how the heck do you put a baby in a back carry?

i love the look and idea of the woven wrap to do a back carry to wear my LO....but how the heck do you get them in there?!

Magic ;-)

Youtube has lots of videos - here's one:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53sczExGqho.

I actually still sort of sling him over my shoulder instead of doing the hip scoot like she does.

With a little practice and the help of some amazing tutorial videos I found on thebabywearer.com

I made sure to practice on the bed for the first few rounds, just in case...lol 

Now I can pretty much just toss them onto my back and wrap away. It's not too difficult once you finally make it *click* in your head. I actually had a way harder time getting Abby into my friend's Bjorn (I had forgotten my wrap and needed to be hands free but Abby was having none of that, so I tried the Bjorn, and hated it).

Here's one more like how I do it:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbKdxwkBiRo.  If I'm somewhere I can't lay him on the wrap I do sort of a cross between the two methods.

I think you definitely should! The FSOT forum at thebabywearer.com has good deals on used carriers of all kinds - lots of wraps!
