 Cross Carries -- Inserting Baby Minimize

Using one hand, hold baby high on your chest with her diaper higher than the X. Using the other hand, pull the X away from your body.

First slip one baby leg into the X. Then the other leg.

Holding baby securely, allow her weight to settle down into the X. Now, leaning back just a little to rest baby's body on your chest, use both hands to spread out the vertical straps. First spread out the strap inner strap. Then spread out the outer strap.

If baby falls asleep, you can use the vertical straps to support her upper body, her shoulders, and even the back of her head. If you are using a breathable cloth, like this lightweight cotton knit, you can cover baby's face -- to protect from sun, wind, etc. If using a non-breathable cloth, such as heavy fleece, be sure to leave a gap for the baby to breathe.

 You are a Master Babywearer Minimize
In China, it is said that "A master is anyone who knows more than you do." So, you are all master babywearers compared with most of the moms in the world. You do NOT need to know everything there is to know about babywearing -- if you know even ONE carry with even ONE type of carrier, you are in possession of knowledge other moms desperately want -- even if they do not yet know they want it. ;-D Therefore, you should all feel confident enough to teach others! So, pick a public place, pick a day of the week, and start sharing your skills with other families! Then, list yourself here.
