OMG! Yes! First time Dad here as of a week and a half ago and got my baby sleeping on me nice and chill while I go about my day giving my wife a chance for some well deserved naps between feedings. Hearing and feeling my daughter's little sleep breaths is heaven. Thank you for this very clear and concise tutorial. Best I've seen.
Aww God bless your heart. If your wife only knew you were YouTubing this on your spare time her heart would melt. Needs to be more men like that in the world. Congratulations to u and your wife. Having a baby with your partner opens up a brand new type of love for them as well. I love watching my s.o being a daddy
Right!? Jeff Harris, I was just trying over and over to get it right and couldn't figure out what I was missing. The instructions skipped a lot of useful information. This video just helped me and so my wife is getting much needed rest as well. And I can also clean up the house some!
This is a great tutorial. Very clear. Very understandable. Thank you for posting this. It's been three years since I last used my Boba and the instruction I received the first time was no where near this clear.
Very helpful video! I agree with others who said this is much more helpful than the Boba video. I think what I was doing wrong based on watching their video was putting everything too low for my baby's size. My baby is only 2 weeks old and about 8.8 pounds. But having you explain where the crosses should go, etc., was very helpful. Thank you for this!
Your video is the best in describing proper usage of the wrap. The instruction is very vague :( I was struggling with other videos and baby ended in being too low. But now I have managed to place him high enough, I think :) his head is just under my chin how long can I carry the baby in a wrap longest?
Thank you very much!! I have watched a number of Boba How-To videos and was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to work for me. All I needed was this one video. Way easier than how others were showing to do it, and baby feels secure.
This makes using the wrap less intimidating. Reading the instructions and trying to follow as written leaves room for ambiguous interpretation. Thank you! I'm hoping to actually start using my wrap more often and ai think this video has given me confidence to do so!
This made soooooo much more sense. I'm a visual learner, so reading the manual was confusing. Thank you. Now I dont feel like I wasted money buying my wrap.
Thank you thank you thank you life saver. My boba box was trashed by my energetic older boys so you are amazing. Easy to follow and little man is tucked in perfect and secure. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a great demo. Thank you! Wanting to get one for g.f and husband first time parents. Figured having as many videos as possible to help them is a good idea too.
As a new mom i tried a few times but it doesn't seems well. I think the baby is too pressed to me and she gets verry nervous. The 3rd pannes is either too tight or loose near the head. And she always hold her face against my chest or backwards, doesn't want to hold it sidewards. Where am i wrong?
I used this wrap for my baby when she was 0-4 mo. but as she got bigger and longer she can no longer fit. she weighs too much and almost falls out. is this wrap for a specific age range?
Any thoughts on this vs the Boba Bliss Hybrid? I appreciate the tutorials on how to put it on, but it does feel like a lot when you're in a hurry. Any cons to going with the hybrid no wrap version instead?
Thanks for the detailed instructions. You can find all sorts of videos with the same instructions but not many show the reversal steps to ensure safe removing of a child. Would there be any differences based on an individuals body structure or does this hold work for all types, including men?
Hey Alexander! The great thing about stretchy wraps (and all other fabric baby carriers) is that they are custom-fit to the wearer every time, so they fit well for all body types universally. In terms of this hold (pocket wrap cross carry), it is also works for all people, regardless of body type. One caveat we've noticed is that sometimes men or taller-chested individuals will intuitively wear a wrap-style carrier lower on their chests due to lower position of their natural waists...but remember! - you will need to start tying the wrap around your upper body high enough so that you can easily bend your head to kiss the top of you baby's head while you wear them. A second caveat is that the girth of your chest/waist/ bust will determine if you have enough slack in your wrap to tie it off in front of you, or behind your back. In this video, notice that I have enough slack to tie the wrap off in my front. For reference, I am 5'7" and about 165 lbs here.
Hips open and in a squatting position with legs out of the carrier is ideal for baby's hips at any age and the current recommendation for babywearing. While wearing babies with legs in is possible, it often leads to babies trying to press up to standing because of their reflexes, can be tricky to place babies legs and feet just right to keep the weight in their butt where it belongs, and overall, is just a harder position to get perfect. This doll shows legs not quite as tucked up as a newborn's legs might be in real life, but the general positioning is the same (just a bit less exaggerated than by this doll.)
I thought wrapping would be difficult, but I watched this one time and was able to do it myself the second time pretty quickly. To be fair though I'm practicing with one of his teddy bears because he's not here just yet.
my newborn keeps slipping down no matter how many times I redo the whole proces. What could be the problem? I thought it would get better with pracitce but it did not :(
Hey Ema! If your baby is slipping down, chances are you don't have the wrap tight enough on your body. Try tying the pieces that are crossed at an X on your belly a bit higher and tighter and see if that helps! Every newborn is different in size and heft from the next, so experiment with less slack. I also want to remind you to pull out as much slack on your shoulders and back as we do in the video BEFORE making the cross on your front. Any hiding slack on your back will definitely sneak to the front and cause room for slippage as time goes on wearing her. Last 2 things to check: 1) if she is approaching 12-15 pounds, she could be just weighting out of the carrier and you need a new, more sturdy wrap (try a woven wrap if you like the style!)... and 2) make sure you are fully spreading each piece of the X on her body when loading her in, if you neglect to spread each cross from knee-to-knee on her, she may not be getting enough lateral support. Email us a video to info@wildwasmama.com if you want some direct feedback of your technique!

This is the BEST demo on how to use any stretchy wrap! Way better than the Boba website itself!
I love this it helps me so much 😃❤❤❤❤
Yes! So much better than the Boba website!!!
This is the only wrap video that didn’t make me feel like I was having a stroke. Thank you for posting!!!!
OMG, thank you!!! Simple and straight to the point, demonstration on point and no useless talking! Thanks again.
THE best video that was clear and got straight to the point (without rambling and dropping irrelevant details).
Thank you for this. As a new dad, I was able to get my baby nice and comfy while my wife gets a chance to rest!
U let your wife rest? Are you a unicorn because that doesn’t exist
Right!? Jeff Harris, I was just trying over and over to get it right and couldn't figure out what I was missing. The instructions skipped a lot of useful information.
This video just helped me and so my wife is getting much needed rest as well. And I can also clean up the house some!
Dad here and this was so awesome and helpful! Excited to get some house work done while carrying my little man!
Geez, this explanation is better than Bobas video.
IKR
I agree!
+ CorrèzeIngrid Wagner
I agree too!
Completely agree!
I have watched *so* many tutorials and this one helped me *finally* get it right! thank-you so much!!
Still the best tutorial out there!
To think I almost gave up on this wrap. Thank you!! Best demo ever!!!!
I was really intimidated when I got it out of the box and it was a mile long 😅 your explanation was super easy to follow and I got it no problem!
This is a great tutorial. Very clear. Very understandable. Thank you for posting this. It's been three years since I last used my Boba and the instruction I received the first time was no where near this clear.
I've watched so many of these videos and this is the only one that helped me! Thank you!

how long can I carry the baby in a wrap longest?
Seriously the best video I’ve found. I keep it bookmarked to reference it.
Thank you! This is the best video I’ve found on how to properly put the baby inside of it.
Thank you very much!! I have watched a number of Boba How-To videos and was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to work for me. All I needed was this one video. Way easier than how others were showing to do it, and baby feels secure.
Yeah no contest this is the best tutorial out there. You made this easy and I use this technique all the time!
This makes using the wrap less intimidating. Reading the instructions and trying to follow as written leaves room for ambiguous interpretation. Thank you! I'm hoping to actually start using my wrap more often and ai think this video has given me confidence to do so!
i really enjoyed this video ,it got straight into how to wear it no long talking.
Wow. Best video explanation I’ve found so far. And I really appreciate how concise it was! Thankyou!
Best demonstration out there! Thank you!
This made soooooo much more sense. I'm a visual learner, so reading the manual was confusing. Thank you. Now I dont feel like I wasted money buying my wrap.
Thank you for this video. The easiest instruction so far for a first time user.
Omg thank you!! Life saver! I could not get the bottom to go over my son and his head was swinging around. This video saved me!
Your video is a lot more informative and helpful compared to others as well as the company itself. Thank you!
Your video has been the best for me so far. Thank you so much!
This is the best set of instructions for this wrap. Thank you!!
Well done video, better than the brand provides. Great job explaining.
Great video but how do I know if it's TOO tight for baby. I feel like when I put my baby in there, his legs were turning red from poor circulation
Thank you thank you thank you life saver. My boba box was trashed by my energetic older boys so you are amazing. Easy to follow and little man is tucked in perfect and secure. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Best video I've seen about boba wrap. Thank you.
First time dad and this video was perfect, I could actually follow and baby feels nice and snug! Thank you!
Took me forever to even get halfway close using the book that came with the wrap. This helped me immensely!
What a great demo. Thank you! Wanting to get one for g.f and husband first time parents. Figured having as many videos as possible to help them is a good idea too.
thank you! this tutorial is better than the others I saw.
Great video! Very easy to follow and detailed enough to make it easy to actually do it. Thank you for posting!
New dad here, thanks for the video. Love the Boba wrap
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It saved us from all the confusion! I was able to get it the first time I tried.
The other videos left me confused. Thanks for straightforward and clear instructions. Got it the first time!
Way off subject but anyone know where I can get a top just like this? Recently gave birth and would love her top in EVERY COLOR lol!
.
Wow! Great video. I finally was able to wear my baby. Is there any video instructions for babies 2-4months?
Thank you for this! I appreciate the detailed explanation, I feel so much more comfortable using the wrap now =)
THIS WAS THE BEST BOBA EXPLANATION! Thank you for making it clear for ftm like me!
I'm watching in 2021, very helpful. Thanks!
Finally able to baby wear my daughter after this tutorial, thank you!!!
As a new mom i tried a few times but it doesn't seems well. I think the baby is too pressed to me and she gets verry nervous. The 3rd pannes is either too tight or loose near the head. And she always hold her face against my chest or backwards, doesn't want to hold it sidewards. Where am i wrong?
This video was soooo helpful and made me feel like a pro in no time!
thank goodness for this explanation!
I used this wrap for my baby when she was 0-4 mo. but as she got bigger and longer she can no longer fit. she weighs too much and almost falls out. is this wrap for a specific age range?
Thank you very much for this awesome video. Way better than official one.
Thanks for a more thorough explanation - wayyyyyy more useful than the Boba video.
This is the best video for this on RUclips. Thank you!
Very clear instructions! Thank you
Thank you just took me one time to get it and you made it easy ❤
Very thorough. Thank you so much!
Any thoughts on this vs the Boba Bliss Hybrid? I appreciate the tutorials on how to put it on, but it does feel like a lot when you're in a hurry. Any cons to going with the hybrid no wrap version instead?
This is the best video I have fount so far. Maybe my purchase won't go to waste after all thanks!
Thank you so much! The instructions in the box left me sad and confused.
I have a wrap like this and my month old Kees slipping down no idea why and how to stop it the wrap is on right so I don’t get it.
This helped so much more than any video I've tried watching
Omg best tutorial!! Did it so quick! Thanks!!
Excellent tutorial!! Thank you.
Thank you!!! Perfect video!! Explained it so perfectly
This video was soooo helpful for me. I tuck in her feet because she's really young.

Perfectly explained
Thank you, this was so easy to follow
Wow thank you!! I was having so much trouble until I stumbled upon this video
Thank you, this video is life saving
That was really helpful, thankyou goddess!
Can I use this method with a Acrabros sling?
Thank you!! Are babys legs supposed to be tucked in more? Is it ok for the hips to be opened like that?
Hips open and in a squatting position with legs out of the carrier is ideal for baby's hips at any age and the current recommendation for babywearing.

Thank you so much! This is amazing!
Thank you so much! Very helpful ❤️
Massive help thank you
Great job! I love this explanation
Is this safe for a 5 week old? I love your video BTW, so much better than the boba website!
Chandy Ward same question
Thank you i needed this today
Yes! much better explanation than the one from the carrier.
up to what wright do you think this style of wrap is good for??
Great demo, thank you!
I thought wrapping would be difficult, but I watched this one time and was able to do it myself the second time pretty quickly. To be fair though I'm practicing with one of his teddy bears because he's not here just yet.
Fantastic video, thank you!
my newborn keeps slipping down no matter how many times I redo the whole proces. What could be the problem? I thought it would get better with pracitce but it did not :(
OMG I get it now. I was watching different videos before. Thank you so much!
