Here are the basic steps in understanding how to knot the Tummy Kangaroo (Frog position) :

You can simply take baby in your arms and deposit the centre of the wrap at the level of his back.
 
,
Deposit the wrap on both your shoulders.
 

 
Check to make sure that the top edge is at least over the ears of baby for support reasons and that the bottom edge lifts up the knees of your baby so that he is in the proper sitting position. You can even lift up the lower edge of the wrap so that it passes between you and baby. In this way, you are sure that baby is sitting solidly and is not just hanging.
 
With your free hand, grab the edge nearest your neck by passing under the panel. Pull it outwards so as to create a complete rotation with the other edge. The material is now fanned over your shoulder.
 

 
, ,
Execute the same manoeuvre on the other side after you have switched hands that are holding baby.
 
In your back, grab the upper edge of the panel opposite to your hand.
 

 
Pull on this panel by passing it under the other one. Make sure the panel is spread out properly in your back and that it does not twist.
 
,
Bring the whole panel in your hand so that it forms a cord. Adjust the tension fold by fold.

 
Change arms. Keep the cord in your hand while you hold the baby and keep it tight.
 
Take the upper edge of the other panel on your back.
 
Do the same thing on this side but pass over the panel this time.

 
Return the whole width of the material in your hand.
 
Pull on each panel by advancing your shoulders alternately to adjust the tension everywhere on the wrap and swaddle the babies’ body.
 
Do not let the wrap descend onto your arm while you are adjusting it because you will not be able to bring the baby close enough to you. The edges that pass over your shoulders must be tight.

When the material covers the baby like a second skin, cross the two panels under babies bottom. If the baby has its legs out of the wrap (from about 1 month old) pass first over the legs and then under them and bring the material around to the back.


 
, ,
Bring the rest of the material around your waist and finish with a knot.
