Hi everyone,
I am a new mom and I recently purchased a woven wrap for babywearing. I am having trouble adjusting the wrap to make sure my baby is secure and comfortable while inside the wrap. I want to make sure I am doing it right and not putting my baby at risk. Can anyone give me some tips or step-by-step instructions on how to properly adjust a woven wrap for a secure and comfortable carry? Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Hello,
As an experienced babywearer, I find that adjusting a woven wrap properly is crucial to ensure a secure and comfortable carry for your baby. One technique I always keep in mind is to adjust the wrap slowly and carefully, making sure the adjustments are snug and that there are no loose areas.
When wrapping, I like to start with one side and make sure that it is snug against my body before moving on to the other side. This helps create a base or foundation that is secure enough to hold my baby comfortably, especially as we move around.
Additionally, there are different types of woven wraps, each with their techniques for adjustment. For instance, a front wrap cross carry is different from a back carry, and it's essential to follow the proper techniques for each type of wrap.
Lastly, I find that a properly adjusted wrap should not cause strain on your body. If you feel pain, especially in your back, it's a sign that the wrap is not fitted correctly. To combat this, ensure that the shoulder passes are spread evenly to distribute weight and that the waistband of the wrap is positioned comfortably on your hips.
In conclusion, the key to adjusting a woven wrap properly is to take your time, follow the correct technique for your wrap type, and ensure that your baby is comfortable and secure in the wrap.
