If you’re new to babywearing on your back, you and your baby both need to become comfortable with it.
If you are worried or uncertain, your baby will be worried and is likely to cry.
I recommend practicing without the wrap. The best place is where you and your baby can both see yourselves in a mirror. [...]
Most back carries with a wrap will have either rucksack straps (the wrap comes straight down from your shoulder and goes underneath the same arm like a backpack–or vice versa, from under one arm to over the same shoulder) or are crossed across the chest so the wrap goes from over one shoulder to under [...]

I dedicated yesterday to my 3.6 meter Inka Storchenwiege. It is one of my very favorite wrap colorways, has been used plenty and is floppy soft, and I used it in July in Florida, albeit mostly indoors.
I am something like 5′3 and 115 lbs. The 3.6 was too short for FWCC or BWCC, but there [...]
Tuesday the Pinellas Cloth Diaper Chatter group had a meet-up at the beach. We love cloth diapers, but for me, everything is about baby wraps!
Amy has a new Lou Neobulle in a shorter size than her other wrap and wanted to know what carries she could do with it. She knew she had a good [...]

This one with my god-daughter Aurora, shows a toddler in a double hammock carry.
This one is my newborn in a double hammock (legs tucked in).
I love this carry, which [...]
One way to keep cool while you keep wrapping all Summer long, is to use less fabric. By learning one or two great carries that don’t use much fabric, you can get away with a short wrap that layers across yourself and your baby fewer times. Fewer layers, means less hot!

The biggest complaint I’d hear about wrapping was getting too hot in Summer. So I got a gauze wrap and started using it almost exclusively. I found that it really did make a difference! The lightweight gauze is so thin, the airflow is much improved and my baby and I both stay cooler.
Now I’m selling [...]
