6.- Piggyback Baby Back Wrap From whenever child can get on you piggyback, best after
about one year old.
|
6-1. Baby climbs on
wearer in a piggyback fashion, while wearer opens rebozo ready to swing it onto
baby in back.
|
|
6-2. As in
traditional baby back wrap, wearer swings shawl in a half circle to rest (now
over baby) on her back and holds both top and bottom rebozo edges taut, one end
going over her shoulder, the other around her waist.
|
|
6-3. Having tied
the double knot in front to hold baby on, wearer is checking that babe is in
sitting position with rebozo taut underneath, and may open baby's legs to
straddle her (wearer's) waist if he wants to remain on back.
|
|
In this variation, the
babe and shawl unit have been twisted around to the front, and the knot travels
to the upper back: baby's legs may straddle wearer's hip, or be left to hang
loose as seen here. I found leaving a bigger baby on back the most comfortable
for us both most of the time; in special circumstances, a prompt shift to the
front is available.
