Stage One - The Evolution Base Wrap

~ You will need a stretchy wrap approximately  18″ x 60″ ~

Step 1

Place the baby in the wrap, ensuring that you have enough length on the shorter side to bring the wrap over the baby.

Step 2

Bring the baby's hands up to it's chest, then pull the shorter section of the wrap over the baby's body and tuck firmly underneath

Step 3

Tuck the baby's legs up to it's chest (in a way that is comfortable to the baby) then bring the long section of the wrap over the baby's shoulder, then around under the baby's bottom (supporting the legs) and back up toward the second shoulder.

Step 4

Gently lift up the baby and bring the wrap through. Ensure you go over both shoulders.

Step 5

Bring the wrap back across the baby's body, completely covering the hands and feet.

Step 6

Then once more, gently lift the baby and bring the wrap underneath. (Note the "Tail End")
