3-1. Follow
directions for newborn and/or hip wrap, place short end of shawl over one
shoulder and let longer end drape behind the waist.
3-2. Tie knot to form sling as in newborn and/or
hip wrap.
3-3. This time babe is slipped into the rebozo
sling with his head opposite the knot on the chest, with extended feet
stretching out towards the knot. The rebozo edge can be left at baby's armpit
as illustrated here, the fabric can be pulled up near child's neck for more
support, or you can pull up the higher edge to cover child at times when
discreet nursing is wanted, or child falls asleep. Baby's back arm may hold
wearer around the back (inside rebozo), or be in front within the rebozo pouch;
front arm can be in or out, arms can be repositioned or moved easily while
child is worn. The little one's bum is usually slightly lower than his feet, as
shown in the drawing.
NOTE: different rebozo wraps may need slightly different
shapes or sizes of the pouches created, or may need to be tied slightly
differently as child grows. If one wrap comes much more easily than another,
try using a distinctly different size pouch for better results by taking up or
letting out the rebozo ends.
