I currently have a six week old baby, so that is what I show in this tutorial. I also love to wrap my older babies as well. Perhaps I will share a tutorial on that when Micah gets a little older!
Every newborn wants to be held close, around the clock. Sure makes it hard for a new mama to get the dishes and laundry done. Also, who wants to take a fussy baby to the store or out with friends?!
Since I exclusively nurse my babies until at least six months, I can't leave the house without them. With babywearing, that doesn't bother me at all! I just wrap them up, and they feel like they are still in the womb. Comfy and happy!
With five kids, babywearing is the only way I can keep up with all my kiddos, and homemaking responsibilities, without losing my sanity.
I absolutely love my wraps, and don't know how I would do life without them!
With my other babies I used the Moby Wrap. The tying, and wearing, process is the exact same. But, I really prefer the weight of the Boba Baby wrap. It is hardly heavier than just a regular T-shirt. Since I wear my wrap all day, so I can slip the baby in and out as needed, this lightweight wrap is my favorite yet!
I hope this tutorial was helpful for you. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below.
Thank you so much for stopping by the farmhouse!

Thank you for this 😭 first time momma here. & my 3 week old baby has been fighting sleep lately. I went out to target and got the moby wrap and I used your method. My baby fell asleep exactly 3 minutes after settling her in. 😭 no more crying baby and I can actually use my two hands around the house lol

Congratulations to your daughter!!! I hope her birth and recovery went well and God bless the new baby

[@michaelthedad]

As a first time dad this was super helpful! We got a wrap as a gift and had no idea how to use it. This lets me be hands free while holding her quite comfortably. My daughter is 2 weeks old and its almost impossible to put her down without her fussing so this works great

[@kaylaaa6351]

I hope things are going well! I'm currently blessed with a two week old and I hate putting him down 😂

[@6Mephisto666]

Same here, also a first time dad, already two-month-old, and also got the sling as a gift. Very helpful video. I have one question though, last step in the video, where the lady ties it up in the front doesn't work for me, because it's too short (or I am too big for it). Is it okay if I just tie it in the back after the crossover, without coming back around the front?

[@michaelthedad]

@@6Mephisto666 If it feels comfortable but still tight and strong enough to hold baby, then I'd say go for it! I did a similar thing because of my dad belly haha.

I am a grandmother of 16. The latest addition to our family, Miss Dixxie, is just 2 months old. I am going to purchase one of these wraps and take her into the garden with MiMi! I so wish these would have been more mainstream America when my babies were little! Love your tutorials and ALL your videos. Congratulations on your success and the growth of your channel and brand. I am currently downsizing possessions and changing up our home to reflect my farmhouse aesthetic. I have been drawn to the natural home with wood, stone and handcrafted, useful items. We have 13 laying hens, 5 Rhode Island Red chicks and one happy rooster. We are raising rabbits and will be also be raising our first 25 meat birds soon. We have chosen a heritage breed, Freedom Rangers for this purpose. In addition, we have a large family garden in which we are planting non gmo vegetables. We are hoping to take some of our harvest to the local farmer's market, for the first time. I am wanting to begin fermenting our veggies and working on our gut health, especially cabbage, carrots and garlic. I would like to wish you continued health, joy and success with all your endeavors. You have such a lovely family and are creating a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing. God bless you.

Straightforward and easily explained -- thanks for the advice on babywearing! My little guy is also only truly happy when being held, so being able to tie a wrap quickly & confidently is going to be a big part of our overall family happiness for many months to come.

The instructions that came with my wrap might aswell of been in a foreign language! My baby is just over a month old and I’ve only used my wrap once, but you’ve made it look so easy I can’t wait to try it again!
