1. Drape the wrap over your shoulder opposite the hip on which you will carry your baby.

2. Bring the front piece of fabric across the front of your body towards the opposite hip.

3. Continue wrapping the front fabric section around your back and the back section around your front. Tie a double knot here.

4. While supporting baby, insert one leg through the front side of the wrap.

5. Insert the other leg through the backside of the wrap. The baby will now “sit” on the “X.”

6. Spread the fabric over the baby's bottom, starting with the section of fabric closest to your baby.

7. Spread the outer part of the fabric over baby’s bottom. Spread the fabric wide to distribute baby's weight.

8. Make sure fabric is spread over the baby's torso. You may want to alternate shoulders periodically while carrying your baby in the Hip Hold.
