Posted this on TBW, but figured I'd post here as well.
I just got my first woven wrap. Feel like I've done well with the front carries, but DS (5 months old) is desperately curious to face out. So I tried a hip carry which he liked, but it was not the most comfortable for me (need to keep practicing).
I think he'd enjoy a back carry, but he is an archer and leg straightener. Any back carries you'd suggest for a beginner mama who needs to secure a squirmy baby? Definitely will practice on the bed and with a spotter.

Thanks...that's very helpful! I will search those on youtube and give them a try now that my husband is home and can help wrangle our wingle worm and spot me.
