1.- Newborn Wrap Can be worn until about 2 months, or when child has good neck control and wants more outside contact.

1-1. The simple easy wrap for newborns begins with the wearer putting on the shawl with the shorter end draped over one shoulder, and the longer end dropping across the back.

1-2. Bringing the longer end to the front around the waist, the shawl ends are tied together in a double knot, between the shoulder and breast, so that the fabric below the knot that hangs to the wearer's waist, forms a sling for the babe to slip into.

1-3. Now make a pouch with the fabric, and, sitting down, pick up the baby, supporting his head, neck, and spine, and slip him into the sling created by tying the knot, with the child's head up near to the knot (facing the wearer's breast, or with the check near or just under the breast, or slightly facing up), and the child's bum on a slant down toward the wearer's waist, with his legs tucked in behind in a natural position. The shawl should be tighter at the edges to keep baby in secure, and spacious enough in the middle to allow the child room to shift in sleep or root for the breast (if with mom), yet give good support for the new baby's head. The rebozo fabric is see through, breathe through to the baby, yet looks opaque to a passerby a foot away, so allows for maximum privacy and comfort for the newborn, hands-free bonding for the parent. This wrap imitates the normal way one would hold a baby of this age in arms, more horizontal than vertical, close to the wearer's chest.
