Wearing/wrapping a newborn ? - need advice

katJude · August 2009

My little guy is 4 days old. So far I've been using the front cross carry with my didymos wraps (I have two - size 4 and size 5). This wrap style seems to be the most supportive and is relatively easy/quick to tie. Does anyone have other suggestions for wrap styles that have worked well with very, very young babies and wraps that are about 4 meters long? Thanks

The kangaroo carry would be perfect - you could do it tied under the bum with your size 4 and maybe do a reinforced kangaroo with your 5 depending on your size. You could leave baby legs in too if he likes to stay froggied. There's a link to instructions for it in my siggy although if you have the Didy instructions I think it's there too.

^^Thank you so much! I've become a little addicted to my didymos slings! It's awesome living in Germany and having access to all of them here!

It's nice to know there is someone else who is a little obsessed with wrapping too!

Wrapping is pretty addictive ;-) And I'm super jealous you have access to cheaper Didys!

Congrats on you new LO ;-)

I bookmarked that website that you have on your blog. I LOVE how they listed just the carrying positions that work for newborns. I'm excited to see which ones work best for him and my husband is desperate to get him into a style that works on his big frame!

Also, I finished my PhD last year - I did part of undergrad, 2 MAs and my PhD with my first child tagging along (even participating in fieldwork with me in Guatemala)! So best of luck to you with school and your baby!
