Best way to wrap twins: LBO Mini (front wrap cross carry with folds)

My personal favourite way to carry my baby twins. For a hip carry option and more info on the wrap check out: www.littlebutonce.com/wrap-twins
The LBO Mini is perfect until closer to 12 months, where you can switch to The LBO Maxi, an easy and secure hip carry.

This is the most secure twin wrapping video I've found so far! Thank you!

[@LittleButOnce]

Thank you! They always feel very safe and secure in this wrap. Glad you found it helpful

[@honeypoo100]

thanks for the video! this is also the first twin baby carrier tutorial I've watched where actual babies were used and not dolls, which obviously make the process a lot different lol

[@jessicadaugherty9011]

Love this! I remember watching this when my sister had twins three years ago, now I get to try it with my own twins! Thank you for this great video

[@ariburks5661]

Girllll you just saved my life with this video having twins is a lot!!!

[@lumewarm]

I watched another how to video on how to carry twins in a sling, and your method looks much safer than their's.

[@LittleButOnce]

Thanks Dana! I tried many ways but this felt very secure and safe. No taking chances with our little bubs!

[@DaisyCar88]

I’m saving this video! I’m having twins in may and I’ve been trying to find twin slings online and can’t find any so this is a life saver!!

[@sdgdfgdasdgsdf7354]

I Love how easy this kzbin.infoUgkxvAj3godqGAIP5rApM1laH767JGtPG1-h carrier is to adjust from my friend to me taking turns holding the baby! It provides great support on my back too! This has definitely made shopping easier! I always get asked where I get it too!

[@dakotahsaint8496]

Thank you! This is so much more secure for my 2-month-old twins! I'm actually hands-free and able to chase my other two kids! (this method worked with a moby too, pull it tight).

[@Ruth-tbk]

Wow, thank you so much for this video! After weeks I’ve found one other video that shows this wrap method, but she didn’t secure the first baby before picking up her second. I’ve done it a couple of times, but never felt secure doing it, despite wrapping my older daughter every day for 2,5 years.

[@americanenglishwithkatherine]

Wish I had found this video earlier. Spent so much on a twin baby carrier that the babies hate. Thanks for the video!

[@bethanypoloai6736]

I've just discovered this, I've got 5 week old twin boys and this is the most easiest way to do it. Thank you!

[@morganapendragon1650]

You are AMAZING and your twins are adorable!! I have 2 month old twins and I’m excited to try this out! THANK YOU!!

[@KGodzicky]

Just tried switch my twins whom hated the other ways and worked great. Thank so much

[@NikkiHubYoutube]

This is a grab double wrap tutorial! Love it and we'll done!!

[@Shaningo227]

Did it today! Thank you. My twin boys are 8lbs at 4 months so I needed something that separated them more but still held them securely

[@loramatilde8285]

Oh lalala! Mam is always mam. God bless all mams

[@sawerarafail1173]

this is the most useful video i’ve ever seen

[@RuthieSongbird]

Hey! NewTwin Mom here.. thank you so much for this video!!

[@iamalmighty2075]

I love your wrap, your little ones look so adorable and comfy 😍 she fell asleep right away...aaaw! 😇😇😇

[@LittleButOnce]

It's so snuggly when they sleep! 😍

[@xLaniex]

Lady you are a magician! Thank you for this video!

[@LittleButOnce]

So sweet of you Mel! Im just a lady who goes through lots of trial and error 🙈 Very happy that it was useful to you 💕

[@evatuckjr9091]

I loved it easy to put together and I don’t have to worry about my toddler getting hurt around the house, I have some time for myself 😅🥰

[@rachelhowat3535]

I’ve watched this over and over and tried it twice but it’s hard! I have two month boys. I’m going to keep trying! Thanks for posting this!

[@LittleButOnce]

Congratulations! Well done for giving it a go when they are so tiny and squishy

[@sunlightangel87]

Thank you so, so much for this. I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant with my twin girls. Like you, my first pregnancy was just with one baby and I wore her with one of those shoulder-strap carriers and I too was wondering how I would go about carrying my girls because that shoulder-strap carrier won't work and a big bulky double-stroller would be such a pain to lug around. I plan to practice wrapping before mine are born. I'll use a couple of my daughter's baby dolls to try it out. This video was very helpful and easy for me to follow along. Your twins are precious. I can't wait to meet mine! This will be an adventure for sure.

So glad it was helpful! Congratulations on your double joy. This wrap really helped me in the early days when they both wanted to be cuddled. All the best Mumma! 💕

I have 3 month old twin boys.. I've been using the kangaroo style but this is soo much better!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@LittleButOnce]

Britini Nicole yay! So happy to hear it’s working for you too 🎉 Congratulations on your new double bundles of joy ❤️

[@naonseeh3058]

Thank's for the video 👍👍. My twin are 4 months years old now. I've been trying to carry them this way using stretchy wrap but I haven't success yet 😬

[@FertilityHomeopath]

So so so cute! I wonder how long you were able to carry them like this but maybe I should check if you covered that in another one of your videos 🙄

[@LittleButOnce]

Hello! I carried them like this until they were around 12 months old but it did get a little squishy with their knees together towards the end. When that happened I transitioned to a hip carry. I'm thinking of doing a final front and back carry soon (they are 2.5 now!) so if that is of interest to you then do subscribe

[@filipinaamericanmom]

You did a great job mama.

[@zo0ol92]

thank you so much!!! i have new born twins and i was lost with wraping 😂😅

[@LittleButOnce]

You’re so welcome!! Hope you are getting the hang of it now. Let me know if you need any help ☺️❤️

[@jennyrose527]

Hi There! this looks amazing - thank you so much for this. Could you please tell me exactly what wrap you are using and where we could order from. Thank you!

[@LittleButOnce]

Thanks Jenny! The wrap in the video is a size 7 "Yaro" brand woven wrap, I believe the print is called "autumn rainbow". It was purchased in Australia several years ago from thesleepstore.com.au but I am unsure whether it would still be on the market in this exact colour as new season designs would have come through. I'd try google or a Babywearing BuySwapSell page if youre looking for this exact wrap. All the best!

[@deborahgeorge915]

Thank you! Precious and beautiful.

[@gigglydookie]

Love this! Thank you 😁 Your twins have the same hair as mine! And personalities to match the hair 😂

[@LittleButOnce]

I still look at them amazed at how different they are! 😍

[@nataliajimenez818]

I’m going to do this with my moby wrap

[@joanamencos5292]

Do you think it can work with a stretchy wrap? I love the method ❤

[@mireilleaucoin301]

Oh!!! I didn't this way was an option! I gave mine away twice!

[@chingalachuga6737]

Love this! You're a superstar!

[@LittleButOnce]

chingalachuga thank you! I’m just a Mum who needed some free hands 🙈

[@ceciliacraig9498]

this is awesome!!! Thanks

[@LittleButOnce]

Cecilia Craig - Really happy that it is helpful! 🌷

[@jessshedaker6918]

Hi!! Which wrap are you using??

[@terri635]

You are amazing! Super mom.

[@joelleafara7741]

I have a stretchy wrap and can't seem to keep the baby from sliding down.... is there a particular wrap I need? please I need help

[@Hamburg24680]

Thank you so much for this Video! How long is your wrap? I dont know what size 7 means. Thanks a lot!!!

[@ayrahanifh]

You are amazing!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@LittleButOnce]

Thank you! I hope the video was helpful

[@F95GHomestead]

Watching this not because I’m having twins but because I want to be able to wear my baby girl and 5 pound yorkie around the house together🤣

[@LittleButOnce]

Oh my goodness! Certainly didn’t envision that scenario when I made the video 🤣 All the best with the birth of your little sweetie 💕

[@erindavis5555]

Can you nurse them this way?

[@kruemel1802]

Interesting - the twin, who fell asleep is on your left side... Coincedence? Or is the closeness to your heart, the reason she fell asleep so soon? ;-) Nice way to carry! Thank you!

[@LittleButOnce]

What a beautiful thought!

[@karentully1512]

Where can I find this wrap? Or does any wrap work

[@simbamukandatsama6333]

[@jessicayarborough5594]

Hi there, are you happy for me to link to this video in a blog? Thank you

[@LittleButOnce]

Hi Jessica! Feel free to share the link to this video. Hope it is helpful!

[@sarahs7253]

Where did you get your wrap

[@fallenangelclean]

This carry is great for twins, and I usually wear them like this. But there is no secure seat for them. You should put more fabric between you and your baby. As well, their legs are straight, and legs shouldn't be straight. Their knees should be above their bum. This position is not recommended. Baby should be in "frog" position, cause it is the only natural and secure. For the rest, great video! 💛

[@LittleButOnce]

Marija Adamovic thanks for your comment! You are correct about the M position of the legs. As I mentioned I was completely new to babywearing at the time. Luckily as this isn’t a ruck and a pass went under both their bums they were very secure, not a perfect job but not much perfection goes on with newborn twins other than their squishy faces 💕

[@ezonthemove]

Thanks for this awesome video, did you wear them as newborns like this? (I have 2 week old twins)

[@LittleButOnce]

Glad you enjoying it! I started practicing using this particular style when they were around a month old. If you tuck rolled up facewashers/small towels in the fold behind their heads it helps a lot with neck support in the early days. Important to remember that if they were premmies there are some extra precautions and better to base off adjusted age. Congrats on your new bubbas! 🎉❤️

[@ezonthemove]

Awesome thanks, great tips about face washers :)

[@yoselynrodriguez5853]

Can we do this with newborn babies?

[@doutzeart9279]

How old do babies have to be to be carried this way?

[@giselepierre2814]

Hi How long have to be the fabric and the width? Thanks

[@jafloa847]

How big is this wrap?

[@janerhee37]

Until how old can you use this? My twins are now over 13lbs each and 5 months old. Are you still using this? I think your twins are a month ahead of mine but mine were 5 weeks early.

[@LittleButOnce]

Hi Jane! I can still wrap my 20 month olds in this way but their little knees are touching and a hip carry is much more comfy after around 11-12 months (in our case!) I am about to upload the hip carry I use for them. Hope that helps!

[@destinymagnussen4541]

This is going to sound like a dumb question, brand new twin momma. But all I have right now is a Boba wrap, can this be done with that type of material or is it better with a woven wrap??

[@LittleButOnce]

Not a dumb question at all! The boba recommends that Bub has several passes/layers over Bub for safety reasons as it contains a lot of stretch. You would also have to ensure your babies combined do not exceed the weight limit. I personally wouldn't feel like a boba could get enough tension to support two babies in this wrap style and would suggest a woven for most tandem carries. Hope that helps!

[@nunhlimi3549]

what is the lenght of wrapper?can u please tell me

[@charletto911]

Did you wrap when they were younger than the 3months? I'm struggling about what to do with mine, once their here!

[@LittleButOnce]

Charlotte Marler I did! I wrapped from around 6 weeks but would have done it from birth if I had discovered it sooner! When their heads were still a bit floppy I rolled up facewashers and tucked them under the fold for neck support. All the best with their arrival!! It’s busy but such an amazing thing so see them grow together 😍

[@tomasprascienius5923]

What is the length of that scarf?

[@LittleButOnce]

Hi Tomas! It is a size 7 wrap and is approximately 5.2 metres long. Hope that helps.

[@pdrambakupetwa]

What wrap are you using?

[@alinisar7467]

good

[@katiewillis9698]

Do you sell these wraps?

[@rokliveson]

What length wrap are you using? I'm lost on what to get!also is this a good length for the lbo maxi?

[@LittleButOnce]

rokliveson this one is a size 7! The LBO maxi I use a 5. A 7 was probably a little long in hindsight as I only use it for front/back carries now. In a 6 I could have tied behind my back in the LBO mini. It’s very dependent on the size and comfort of both you and your babies. If you have the option to try one first to check the length I would do that. Hope that helps! ❤️

[@LittleButOnce]

rokliveson in saying that, a bit long is much better than a bit short! 🙈

[@rokliveson]

Thank you! My one is in the 13 pound range and my bigger baby is in the 14 pound range. I'm smaller so I may go with a 6. .... would this be a good size to wrap o e baby on my back and the other on my front when they get bigger?

[@LittleButOnce]

rokliveson a 6 was too short for me to front/back wrap and a 7 was just barely enough. I think ideally I would use my 5 to back wrap and then have a separate shortie to wrap the front baby into the shoulder straps (if that makes sense?) A 6 would hopefully do you well for the LBO mini and maxi and give you options for when you front/back wear. I hope I haven’t made the decision even harder now 🙈💕

[@rokliveson]

@@LittleButOnce thank you! Actually that helps!

[@vinotthamathram8853]

hi. What brand wrap are you using pls?

[@LittleButOnce]

Hello Vinot! This is a size 7 Yaro woven wrap. I believe the pattern is called La Vita Autumn Rainbow.

[@vinotthamathram8853]

Thank you! :)

[@yoselynrodriguez5853]

Do this work for plus size mommies? I’m noobie 🙈

[@juliashibata8764]

How is to breastfeeding in this position??

[@sarahburton9374]

Can you nurse in this carry?

[@LittleButOnce]

Hello Sarah! Yes I frequently breastfed tandem in this carry once they were able to position their own heads to feed 💕

[@lescheveuxnoir]

What brand are you using?

[@LittleButOnce]

So sorry for the delayed reply! It is a Yaro brand wrap called "autumn rainbow". You can get more info at the link below the video

[@franitube]

This is impossible

[@LittleButOnce]

Is there something you are having issues with? I can try to help you troubleshoot if you like! ✨

[@emilydarling7841]

This definitely isn’t at easy as she made it look lol

[@pollum5646]

Seems too much effort for what? to get hands free? Motherhood never comes free. Once the baby come out you have to work work talk repeat move ...no sleep clean cook ...till they leave house....after that we are worried for their future....goes on n on...newly weds or women trying to get pregnant think twice

[@LittleButOnce]

Motherhood is a very busy role indeed! This really helped me to care for both my babies at the same time. They loved being close :)

[@puffthe420unicorn7]

Where did you get this wrap from

[@LittleButOnce]

Hi PuffThe420 Unicorn. I got it from “The Sleep Store”, it is the Yaro brand in a print called “La vita autumn rainbow”
