Newborn (or Tummy) Hip Cross Carry

Probably my favorite newborn front carry. It is called the Newborn HCC because it evolved from the HCC. It's essentially the same carry -- just in a slightly different orientation.

There are doubtlessly other (and better) videos of this carry on the 'net, but this one is mine. ^_^



I like this carry for a number of reasons...

1) It's pretied. If mama (or daddy) is coming from a stretchy wrap background, this is familiar ground.
2) It uses a short wrap. I can eek it out with a 2.7m, and I'm not wee.
3) It's comfy under a coat, and good to tie in wet, muddy parking lots. Both of these relate strongly to #2.
4) The same carry allows for the baby to be a number of positions: upright, cradled, and even facing out (legs in)

I didn't imagine this to be my first *real* blog post, but I am happy to share it.
