Front Wrap Cross Carry
Instructions for the FWCC (Front Wrap Cross Carry)
This is one of my favorite front carries. It’s very supportive and comfortable, ideal for carrying for long periods of time. The inner cumberbund prevents baby from leaning backwards, making for a very secure carry.
In these instructions, baby is 6 months and the wrap is a Didymos Blue/White Indio 4.7m.

Next, slide your baby down into the pocket.
Spread pocket from baby’s knees up to baby’s armpits (or up onto baby’s shoulders, if you prefer).
Get baby into a good sitting position (knees higher than bum), with the wrap being a nice pocket under baby.
Now, grab one of the wrap ends laying over your shoulders.
Tighten the strap from rail to rail so that the pouch around baby tightens securely.
Tuck strap around baby, spreading from knee to knee, tightening all along.
Tuck strap under baby’s opposite leg.
Now grab the other strap over your other shoulder and tighten rail to rail.
Tuck strap around baby, spreading from knee to knee, tightening all along; tuck strap under baby’s opposite leg.
Grab both straps, take them around your back, and tie.

Happy wrapped baby!

Can i know where to buy the wrap fabric? tks
Well, you can either buy a pre-made wrap, or you can just buy some fabric and make your own. If you want to buy one, just search the brand name of the wrap you want and you should find lots of web stores that sell them. If you want to buy a wrap, but your funds are limited, you can frequently find them on ebay.com or on forums like thebabywearer.com. And if you want to make your own, just find yourself a nice sturdy cotton fabric with some diagonal give and cut it to the size you want. Have fun!
