Part Deux: The Front Sling

I promised that we'd bring you the second part of NouNou's DIY babywearing instructions a while ago...and here they are...finally!

This front sling carry uses the exact same piece of fabric from the back carry - but is an alternative method that works well for tiny babies without good neck control.  We used Ani again as our demo model.  She obviously can hold her head up quite well at 8 months - so she is shown in a "supported seat" position.  Later, we'll borrow 8 week old baby Clara soon to show how a tiny baby can be cradled safely and securely in this front carry.  Stay tuned...

 (and older babies too...!)

Special thanks to Mama NouNou!

Today - while Sarah and I are off with Dr. Laure the obstetrician (don't worry, we'll fill you in later!) - we leave you with Mama NouNou's guide to wearing your baby.

All you need is a tablecloth, an old sheet, or a length of sturdy fabric.  Here, everyone uses about 2 meters of pagne (the gorgeous cloth that we blabber on about any chance we get):

                                       

So, grab your fabric and your baby and follow these THREE simple steps:

 Have a baby who isn't quite ready for the back carry yet?  Stay tuned for Mama NouNou's solution in a future post.

(Special thanks to dearest little Annaïs and Mama NouNou, of course.)

p.s.  Mama NouNou is the same person as Mama "NuNu" mentioned in previous posts...she simply corrected my misspelling...!
