want to see a horrible pic of a back carry?

i wrote a post the other day about how back carries were being ridiculously hard for me and i couldn't even master getting LO ON, let alone wrapped. so i said we would practice practice practice until we got there. we try at least once a day... i don't want to push it more because she gets really fussy and she likes being carried in the front. but we have been practicing and i am happy to say i can now get her onto my back easily (superman fly!). and today was the first day i could attempt to wrap her without major screaming. it's horrible, i know. i know i have to work on her positioning and spreading the fabric over her back but still-- she's up there. and she's not crying!

Hey we all started there!  I had to do the same thing as you, practiced only once a day.  It took about a week before I figured how to get LO on my back.  But I started when he was 6 weeks so I was still getting used to holding a baby, let alone tossing him up on my back!  Pretty soon you'll be a pro!

If you ever need a laugh, look at some of the pics in there!

I haven't even tried again since I almost dropped LO.  Thank goodness DH was helping me and caught her.  I think you did great.
