        Position the wrap so that the top edge extends all the way up baby’s back. It will be right at the armpit if baby prefers to have arms out of the wrap. If baby wants arms in (or for a younger baby who needs that support), bring the top edge f the wrap up to baby’s shoulders.  Bring the bottom edge of the wrap down under baby’s bottom and pull it all the way up to baby’s knees to form a seat.  Aim for having the bunched wrap straps that cross behind your back lay over the bottom edge of the fabric that forms a seat under your child. Baby’s lower legs should be free to swing.
