HIP POSITIONS
We highly recommend the hip positions for curious
babies who are unhappy facing your chest. These
positions are especially convenient in a social
gathering. They allow the baby to choose between
facing outwards and interacting with others, or
facing inwards and sleeping.
Babies can be worn on your hip
or off center of your chest from a
very young age.
To bend forwards or remove
your child from a dangerous sit-
uation, you can simply put your
arm in front of the baby.
Some people will recommend
that you switch the sides that
you carry your baby on a regu-
lar basis. While this is possible,
many parents prefer carrying
their children on one side only.
This is not harmful to you or
your baby. The choice is yours.
When tied correctly, the baby
should sit high and snug
against you. His weight should
be evenly distributed and you
should not have to counter bal-
ance.
1.
Choose which hip your baby
will sit on. Place scarf flat over
the opposite shoulder.
2.
The band in front should be
about 40cm longer than the one
behind.
3.
Pull the front band across
your body.
4.
Holding the upper seam,
5.
Reach under the free band
and take it in your opposite
hand.
6.
Pull it across your back,
going underneath the back
band. Make sure not to twist it.
7.
Gather the entire width in
your hand and bring it around
to the front.
8.
Place it over your shoulder.
9.
Open the band at your hip.

This can be used
with a baby of any
size, but this tying
method is especially
appropriate for a
newborn or one
that can not yet sit
up alone.
