SS
This position is appropri-
ate from day one through
to baby’s first year.
The cross position is
great for taking a baby
or toddler in and out
of the scarf often. The
scarf can be left on and
does not need to be re-
tied each time.
All these positions start
with the same method.
NOTE:
We recommend always
crossing the bands in the same
order. The inner band will be
the one the baby is placed into
first.
9.
Spread out the inner band
of fabric and sit the baby down
into it.
12.
The baby can choose to
keep his arms in or out.
11.
Pull open the waist band
over the back of the baby.
10.
Spread out the outer band.
Make sure the fabric is pulled
out to the baby’s knees on both
sides.
8.
Put this leg through the waist
band.
7.
Shift the baby to your oppo-
site shoulder and place his leg
through the outer band.
