Wrap Instructions: Place decorative panel to your waist (if no panel find the Tag) and bring fabric behind your back.
Take each end of fabric and bring each end over the opposite shoulder. (Making an X in the back)
Take the ends of the fabric and place both of them under the front panel. Then cross the fabric under the panel and again make an X.
Bring the fabric behind you and tie or if you have excess fabric bring it to the front of you and tie in front. There you have it! I promise it gets easy!! Now that we know how to tie the wrap lets start with the Newborn front hold: Find the shoulder piece that is closest to your body. Place your baby on the opposite shoulder. Place your baby in the piece that is closest to your body. (Always support your baby’s head). For the newborn hold, frog your baby’s legs up as in the fetal position. (Knees higher then butt). When your baby starts to stretch their legs out then you can try the Basic Front Hold.) Spread the fabric over your baby including his shoulders in the piece closest to you. Bring the other shoulder piece over your baby’s entire body. Last bring the front panel over your baby’s body! Great job!! You now have the option of bringing one of the shoulder pieces over your baby’s head for added support.
