Newborn Wrapping: Front Wrap Cross Carry and Front Cross Carry. Note, this is the "legs in" version of these carries. I personally prefer "legs out" even for a newborn, as I do in this video with an older baby: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RHyUi3OOb0

Great video! What kind, and how much fabric is needed to make this?
Thanks so much :)
Perfect. Thanks x
using a baby would be great!!
Make these out of 100% cotton or 100% silk. Silk keeps you cool in the
summer, and both can be used sans shirts to cut down on laundry *and* to
make breastfeeding easier.
Wonderful. I have a newborn and this wrap is awesome.
thank you so much.
Where do you get those things? I mean the blanket lol .. I wouldnsooo want
one :)
is this a stretchy wrap or woven? i’m thinking of just buying fabric by the
meter and making my own, rather than spending a fortune on a brand wrap.
do you prefer stretch or woven?
THANK YOU!!!!! 😀 Great wraps.
This one is a size 6 I think (4.5 meters or so). I can do it with a shorter
wrap but if I have a longer one, I just tie back around behind me (or in
front depending on the carry!). You can also hem it down if you don’t think
you’d use the length. The second one I show is better for pre-tying. You
can pre-tie the first but you would need to loosen it a bit and retighten
to get baby in properly.
Can u put baby laying down?
I absolutely loved this video! Thank you for showing an option for not
having to finagle a long wrap in the parking lot!
Awesome…. Best video by far
I love youre videos!
Thanks for the video! I’m using an ellevill wrap too, how long is this one?
I fear mine is too long… Can I prepare the front cross carry and put the
baby inside it after (for example if I have to go firstly by car) or it’s
better the second wrap? Thanks!
what is your other channel? Thanks.
@AnechkaK7 It’s a size 6 wrap – 4.6 meters long and 70cm wide.
I want to use this with my newborn, but I bought a woven wrap, not a
stretchy. Is it safe to do this with a woven? I was warned it might be too
much pressure on her feet when she is tiny…
The fabrics that you recommended, can they be found in a regular Joann’s
fabric store or will I have to order it online? Thanks for the previous
advice.
It’s Ellevill Zara Fresh 😉
what type of wrap r u using?… thanks..
Thank you! Very easy to follow. The newborn tiger was hilarious.
How did I get here?
You can buy fabric at Joann’s but depending on your selection at your local
store, they may or may not have something perfect. Fabric.com carries
Osnaburg at a good price as well.
Thanks NcBelle. I am helping a friend later this week and this is very
helpful. -your old bump buddy, cubits.
Very informative
@TheKrk1991 I’m actually using a woven in the video 😉 You can definitely
wrap legs in – you do want to make sure that baby’s weight is resting on
her bum and not on her feet still even with her legs in the wrap. You can
definitely wrap legs out from birth as well though since the wrap will
bunch down to fit between her legs nicely. My preference is to wrap legs
out but to leave the cross passes bunched so they don’t force baby’s legs
too far apart. Need to make another video for that 😉
thank you so much! i’m wrapping with a moby and was nearly in tears trying
<3
to get it right….yours is the only video/instructions that made any sense
to me. we’re wrapped up snug and safe now thank you i can’t say how much i
appreciate it!!!!!!!!!
thanks! i’ve been doing fwcc every day!
Uniquebabygear – try a calin bleu
Hi – Cotton Gauze and Osnaburg muslin are two frequently recommended DIY
wrap materials (if you want something that is more like a woven wrap). I
have more information on my blog about DIY carriers – my blog is linked
above – just search “DIY” when you get there as it won’t allow me to link
in comments 😉
What wrap is that??
GREAT video, thanks so much for posting!
Sorry …only had a toddler at the time 😉 This one I made at the request
of a friend but didn’t have a baby handy. I have another on my channel with
a real baby that shows doing it legs out – which is my preferred way to
wrap a newborn.
This is an Ellevill Zara Fresh 😉
Thank you so much for this! My friend gave me a wrap she never used with
her baby and thanks to your video now I can use it with my newborn.
but the tiger is cute O.O nonetheless
i wish you would have done it with the real baby not a toy its not the
same, im going to be super scared when i try this if i do with my newborn
Where did yoy get your wrap???? Was it ordered from a specific website? I
love the color!
Thank you so much for your video. It is very clear and easy to follow. I am
expecting mid May and can’t wait to try this out on a real baby instead of
a doll! Thank you again!
fantastic video! thank you! x
awesome
I live in a very warm climate and while stretchy wraps work nicely in the
winter months, I have to switch to linen or cooler lightweight cotton.
Problem is that I apparently left my wrap somewhere at the end of last
season because I can’t find it. Can anyone recommend a ready-made
“breathable” wrap that I can buy online? Thanks for the help.
What type of material would be good to use in the winter as well as the
summer?
