okay so to start off you want to find the tag this indicates that this is the center of the route you also want to make sure that it is folded in two so it's folded over in two just like that and you can take the tag and you're gonna place it on your belly usually around your bellybutton is a good place to start and you're going to take the two ends of the fabric wrap them behind your back Criss crossing them so as you crisscross them you're gonna bring one end of the fabric over your shoulder like so and then you're gonna break do the same thing with the other side you're going to bring the fabric around keeping it as flat as you can and bringing it over your shoulders so in the back when I turn around you should see an X to crisscross pieces of material you just want to kind of spread them out as far as you can so that it's laying nice and flat against your body so now I have the X on my back I'm going to take these two pieces the other two tails and I'm gonna stick it through the belt like so and just like I did on my back I'm gonna create an X on my front so I have one piece through the waistband and then I'm going to take the other tail and place it through again I'm flattening out the material as I go and now I have an X created on my front I'm going to pull the material down over my shoulders so I have an X on the front through the belt and an X on the back now I still have two tails here so what I'm going to do is I'm going to take them and I'm going to wrap them around behind me and at this point you can go ahead and tie it off right here if you don't have that much extra fabric it's totally fine to tie it off right there or what you can do is simply crisscross the material if I'm going to do take the remaining ends of the fabric and tie it off by there in the front here or over on the side so I'm just going to create a knot right here on the side so this is all you want to have done before you grab your baby you have your belt here your criss cross in the front over your shoulders nice and laid out and your criss cross in the back okay so then you're gonna grab your baby this is my six month old and she's 13 pounds placing her facing me I'm gonna take one of her legs and put it through the X I created on my belly so just like that I'm gonna pull the fabric up across her back and her belly and her bottom just like that I'm gonna take the next leg and place it through she's very talkative today and pull the fabric again across her bum and rub her back then I'm going to reach for the tag down below and I'm gonna pull the belt over lip yes I'm gonna place her legs through and I'm gonna pull this tag up so it's right up over her mouth just like this your Ruby today Hey oh she's very vocal so that's how I am rain just like this as you can see I'm totally hands-free there's the X in the back again from the side are you happy now if she were from 0 to 3 months old I would have just tucked her feet up into the part here but because she's a bit older I pushed her feet right through so they could do angle up the sides but now I'm totally hands-free I can walk around and she's nice and close to me
