A wrap is a piece of clothing that you can use to create a nest for your baby just like the birds do. I call it the nest as a wrap is created when you tie and knot the long fabric around yourself. The wrap will position itself around your torse and over your shoulders, distributing the baby’s weight across your shoulders and hips. One big and significant difference that sets apart wraps from other carriers is that it does not have clasps, rings or buckles. You can rely on wraps from when your baby is a newborn to 18 months.
