Double wrapping

Postby cuppachaplz » Sat Jan 09, 2016 3:10 pm

Is this something I should be practicing with a teddy?
Is it difficult/awkward?
Should I double wrap, or wrap and s sling?

I've never wrapped Percy in a back carry, but hoping his neck control will be up to it soon, unless anyone can recommend a supportive back carry?

I've never double wrapped but did use a high back carry from very early on. Can't see this video on your phone? Tap here to watch e1lmPSxLuWg in your Youtube player

Perhaps a SSC for Percy might give him some extra head support as the body of the carrier usually helps hold their head when little.

Soft structured carrier - like a Beco or an ergo - with buckles.

I wonder if the right one might give P some extra neck support as well as making a double carry quicker.

Gotcha @sim
We use a Tula, which I love. In fact I tried s few others st the sling library last month to see if there is anything better over my bump/hips now, and fur me there just isn't. It's not as supportive as high wrap gut his neck though, which is why I wondered if there was a supportive back carry.
I'll try the one you suggested @louise. My wrap is a size 6, I'm going to have extra fabric aren't I? Or actually maybe not st the moment :giggle: :pregnant: :cake:

If you have extra then either knot them up or once you've tied the wrap, wrap the tails around you again and knot loosely
