This week's carry is the Front Double Hammock or FDH.  For this carry you will need a base or base +1 woven wrap, for me I need a size 6 or 7.  This is a two shoulder front carry that is great from newborn all the way up through toddlers.  This carry is super comfortable and supportive but takes some precise tightening to get it right. This is a carry you want to use for a longer duration not for a quick up.

This week's carry is Front reinforced torso rebozo aka FRTR.  For this carry you will need a base -2 woven wrap, for me that is a size 4.  This is a one shoulder front carry that stands out for carrying smaller babies, newborns through 6 months.  It ties off using the slipknot that we learned for Rebozo from two weeks ago, making is adjustable and great for nursing.  Let us know what you think.

This week's carry is Poppins.  For this carry you will need a base -2 size woven wrap, for me that is a size 4.  Poppins is a one shoulder hip or front carry.   It can be pre-tied and then pop baby in or you can wrap it around the baby.  This is a great carry for newborns up through toddlers.  It is also one of the prettiest carries, showing off both sides of wraps!

This weeks carry we are going to work on is Rebozo. For this carry you will need a short woven wrap, size 1,2, or 3 would be ideal.  Rebozo is a one shoulder hip or front carry depending on the size of your baby that is tied off with a slip knot.  It is a one pass carry this is great for quick ups and downs.  It is also an easy carry to nurse in.  This carry can be used from newborn to toddlers.  This carry is also poppable which means you can pre-tie and pop baby in and out without unwrapping.
