This week we aren't going to cover a specific carry but something that is a great skill to master.  Nursing in a carrier.  This is not woven wrap specific, nursing can be done in any type of carrier.  Woven wrap, Soft Structured Carrier, Mei Tai, Ring Sling, Pouch, or Stretchy wrap.  Learning to correctly use a carrier and learning to nurse in a carrier can both be challenging.  I suggest learning to use your carrier correctly and well before attempting to learn to nurse in it.  Trying to learn both at the same time could be overwhelming and frustrating.  The links I am providing are for nursing with woven wraps but please feel free to ask if you would like a link for nursing in a different carrier.  Please don't hesitate to ask questions or post pictures for trouble shooting.

This weeks carry is a front torso carry.  This is a front carry that doesn't have any passes over the shoulder.  You need a base-2 up to a base size woven wrap for this carry.  This is one of my all time favorite front carries.  I love the freedom of having nothing on my shoulders.  I find this carry super comfy until my babies hit about 25lbs then I find I need a little more support from my shoulders for a front carry.
