If you find that your infants head is not
being held as close to you as you would
like, there are a few things you can try to
bring them a bit closer.
First, make sure that you have the straps
pulled nice and tight so that all the slack is
taken up. If you spread the straps wider
on your shoulders it will pull the top in a
bit closer to baby's head.
You may also take the straps where they
come out of the body and flip them (and
the corner of the body) towards the
outside (overlapping the print front) this
will make the top area of the mei tai more
narrow and bring it in closer to baby's
head.
Another option is to fold or roll up a
receiving blanket or cloth and place it inside
behind baby's head and the top the body
(making sure baby’s face is not covered).
This holds baby's head nice and secure and
takes up any extra space.
