This carry requires a shoulder flip (ie where your wrap comes from under your arm and flips up and over the same shoulder) which many find challenging to accomplish, and you can lose some tension in your wrap if it's not done well. Many babywearers prefer an alternate Half JBC variation with no shoulder flip. The resulting carry is identical! Both variations are included here.
General instructions:
Classic version:
-
This carry starts off-center. Drape your wrap over your shoulder to
around your waist. Where the wrap crosses your spine is where you will
center baby.
- Get back onto your back and create a seat. The
short tail comes over your shoulder, the other comes under your
opposite arm (rebozo pass).
- Taking the long tail, flip it
up and over your same shoulder, spread it across baby's back and bum,
and tuck it under his opposite knee (cross pass).
- Tie at shoulder, tie a candy cane chest belt, or do a knotless finish.
No shoulder flip version:
- This
carry starts off-center. Drape your wrap over your shoulder to around
your waist. Where the wrap crosses your spine is where you will center
baby.
- Get back onto your back and create a seat. The long
tail comes over your shoulder, the short tail comes under your opposite
arm.
- Take the long tail and bring it under baby's knee, spread it across his back and bum, and up over your opposite shoulder.
- Tie at shoulder, tie a candy cane chest belt, or do a knotless finish.
