The cross wrap

for newborns

  • Place the centre of the wrap on your chest (a little like a bandeau top) and let each panel fall down your back; cross the panels to form a wide cross at the back. Gently lower the wrap to belt level.
  • Position your baby in a squatting position against your chest (facing you).
  • Slide baby's knees into the horizontal pocket of the wrap while holding their bottom in your hand to stabilise them.
  • Wrap baby up to the ears by pulling up the wrap.
  • Adjust by pulling each panel of the wrap to find the right balance; slide the panel placed over your right shoulder under baby's bottom towards the left (therefore crossing it).
  • Do the same with the panel remaining on your left shoulder. Then cross both panels over and under baby's feet.
  • Tie a flat bow with the panels behind your back.

Cradle position

  • Fold your baby wrap lengthwise.
  • Pass one panel over the shoulder of your choice.
  • Bring the two panels together at the back (one is in front and the other behind).
  • Then tie a tight bow (this ensures support and safety).
  • Slide your baby into the pocket formed by the wrap over your stomach.
  • Then tighten the wrap to your liking by simply turning the fabric over your shoulder.

Hip carry

When baby can support their head

  • Place the baby wrap over the shoulder of your choice, at the centre of the fabric. At this stage, you have one panel in front of you and one behind your back.
  • Cross the panels over the opposite hip, ensuring that the panel coming from the back passes over the one
    positioned on the chest.
  • Bring the two panels together around your waist, without twisting the fabric.
  • Tie a double flat bow at the back of the hip.
  • Then place your baby: one leg in the inner panel, the other leg in the outer panel.
  • The panels must cross at your baby's legs. Your baby should be in the
    frog position.

Back carry position

For older babies

  • Place baby on your back by bending forward, keeping your back flat. Fix your gaze on a point straight ahead to help you.
  • Pull the wrap up to baby's ears.
  • Pass the panels over your shoulders.
  • Place the excess wrap fabric under baby's bottom, up to the knees.
  • Straighten up slightly so that your baby slides into the wrap.
  • Adjust your baby's position by pulling on both panels of the wrap.
  • Tighten the fabric panels to ensure good support for baby.
  • Tuck one panel between your legs while adjusting the other by pressing along each edge of the wrap.
  • Twist the first panel and tuck it between your legs.
  • Twist the second panel, then pull both panels outwards to distribute the tension across the fabric.
  • Bring both panels to the back, under your arms and over baby's feet.
  • Cross the two panels under baby's bottom and bring them back to the front, passing under their legs.
  • Tie the two panels at the front after pulling them tight one last time
