There is a great variety of baby carriers, wraps and carries. Techniques and means can change according to culture, lifestyle or climate, for example. Baby carriers range from the African sling to the Asian mei tai, the rebozo in Central America or the awayo in South America. There are also various commercial models with straps or metal frames, some slightly adjustable and others not at all, whose use is limited to a few months, and which are often cumbersome and not very versatile. Today, the woven wrap is the baby carrier offering the greatest number of possibilities. It adapts to the baby’s body, whether a new born or an older child, and allows you to carry your baby in front, on your hip or on your back. The stretchable wrap is a good alternative for someone who is not planning to carry for more than six months and who is looking for a more economical solution. However, these wraps require some technique and practice.
It can sometimes be discouraging when you start researching and discover the multitude of ways to tie wraps, each defended with conviction. Today, in the light of our knowledge of ergonomics and child development, certain techniques stand out and are used more frequently. This guide will initiate you to the most common techniques we judge to be the most practical and comfortable for both the carrier and the baby. We will also try to explain the basic principles for the proper use of the wrap which, we hope, will give you the confidence to make great use of it. With a bit of experience, you will quickly execute the different knots which are best suited to you. Afterwards, you can also adapt the techniques you prefer to your tastes and lifestyle. When you begin to learn the knots, remember not to get discouraged after two or three tries. A few more attempts and you will be able to benefit from the many advantages of baby carrying. At first, try the knots with a pillow or a doll, and then, to reassure yourself, try it with someone’s help. Always choose a time when you and your child are calm.
