“Wearing” Emma

"Trying on" Emma in my home made baby wrap.

I have tried many baby carriers over the years and have always been left unenchanted by the shoulder and back aches that they would bring after about five minutes of wearing the contraption. Yet I kept seeing these beautiful woman in third world countries seemingly carrying their babies simply with one piece of cloth and look like it was a piece of cake. Fascinated I began to look up baby wraps on Google and came across a plethora of web pages devoted to the subject. Goodbye shoulder and back aches! If you aren’t thrifty with material or sewing you can buy a Moby Wrap from a store online but they are $40.00. I paid pennies for mine because I found the material at the local mission and there are still good deals on material (dollar a yard stuff) that will work great and save about 35 dollars and shipping and handling.

Here is where I found out how to make one.

Here is instructions on how to wear your baby in it.
