HOW TO DO THE NEWBORN HOLD IN A BOBA WRAP | Babywearing Wrap Tutorial

[@nessness_x]

I've watched half a dozen videos on this and today after watching yours was the first day I got it and felt confident that my one week old fits snugly and safely inside. Thank you!! This is a game changer for sure.

[@angelmichelle222]

It’s 5am and you just saved my aching back. I could hug you right now. Thank you

[@englishbulldog8143]

Skip the first 3:39 seconds. The best one ❤ever explained perfectly.

[@WilsonHomestead]

Thank you!

[@yourwillnotmine428]

I’m watching this on my way to church for the first time since baby and I want to carry him during the service. This was a great tutorial. Thank you

[@maryhawkins3089]

Watching night before church for the first time so I can wear her if I choose to!

[@mbramlett11]

The absolute BEST video I’ve seen! Got it the first time! Thank you!

[@michaelbalty2750]

THANK YOU! I have the Boba Wrap on right now but couldn’t visualize the last few steps. Thank you very much! Now I can do it. We just brought our little one home about one hour ago! Appreciate it!

[@WilsonHomestead]

Glad it helped! Aww so sweet and tiny, congratulations :)

[@victoriaphilippi5817]

Thank you for the tutorial. My week old son seems to be enjoying the fact that mommy doesn't have to put him down to be hands free. He's having a rough day so this is helpful since I can't put him down for a nap

[@WilsonHomestead]

You're welcome, I'm glad it's working out good for ya!

[@dawnc9330]

Thank you for this! I’ve never been good with visual aids in manuals, so I was THIS close to burning the Boba manual, along with the wrap, when I chanced upon your video!

[@WilsonHomestead]

Haha you're so funny! Glad it was helpful! I hope you end up loving it and getting a lot of use out of it :)

[@sierraladawn3736]

Thank you! I’m on my fourth child (He’s 2wks old) and have never tried baby wearing before. With your tutorial I was successful and am asking myself WHY!!? It was so simple and quite convenient. I will be using my boba wrap often. 😊

[@WilsonHomestead]

Yay glad you got it figured out! Thank you!

[@Fawn123]

3:33 explanation starts. Cute baby btw 🥰

[@mikode]

Very easy to follow along as a new parent! Thank you

[@mattiebird758]

Thanks for the easy follow along! Was able to strap my three week old in and get some vacuuming and cleaning done!

[@WilsonHomestead]

Yay, good job! So nice to be able to get some stuff done!

[@shilpaprakash7736]

3:32 how to tutorial

[@KeyonnaD]

This was so helpful because the manual that came with it had me so confused ! And the first video I watched just didn’t do it

[@WilsonHomestead]

Yeah I sometimes have a hard time with the manuals, I can learn much better by watching someone else do it :) Thanks!

[@nickmurdaugh9856]

You have single handedly saved my life.

[@WilsonHomestead]

So glad to have helped out! :)

[@10HW]

Thank you! Can't wait for my little girl to come out into this world and carry her like this ❤

[@monicageller226]

Excellent tutorial. I’ve had my boba from when my toddler was born but I never used it until now that I had my second baby and need to be able to look after both kids. Thank you for sharing this

[@cathiewatson7622]

Honestly thank you so much. So simple as a tutorial.

[@brittaneylaporte1565]

Thank you for this video it is very helpful and I plan to try this wrap today with my 3rd son who is a little over 2 weeks old.

[@WilsonHomestead]

I hope it goes well for you!

Best video for figuring this wrap out… better than Bobas own videos! Thank you!!!

[@WilsonHomestead]

Glad it helped!

[@chelseas346]

Thank you so much! I’m trying to learn how to use my wrap, but couldn’t figure out how tight it should be or how exactly I should put him in as a newborn. This was so helpful!!!

[@WilsonHomestead]

Glad I could help you figure it out! :)

[@29xuxu]

Thank you for this video. Very helpful. May God bless you and your family. ❤

Wow! I have my fourth and all 3 of my other babies loved the wrap. This one hates it haha. She does love the swing though. Hopefully it will improve with time lol

[@harleydixon4914]

Thank you i just brought my newborn home from the NICU tosay shes 5.5lbs and this saved me cuz that carseat was waaaay too much to carry and too heavy

[@WilsonHomestead]

Aww you're so welcome :) so glad it worked out for you!!

[@taterdevine1266]

I have watched so many videos, so many pictures how to put it together. Your video has been the most helpful and I actually him comfortable putting my daughter in this carrier. Thank you so much.

[@WilsonHomestead]

I'm so glad you finally found one that works for you! :) Thank you!

[@DaVonsDecisions]

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I’ve been researching these as a gift for my sister. I wanted to make sure there was a way to support my baby niece’s head while she’s in the boba. All of my questions are answered now😁

[@leslie3236]

Thank you! This is the best tutorial I've seen! And I love how your little cutie looks up at you while youre wrapping him- so sweet 💓

[@WilsonHomestead]

Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful! And yes I agree, so cute! ;)

[@justinenicole3926]

I just got one as a shower gift as a I am expecting baby #2. I really want to wear this time.

[@jamespottertje]

Thanks for the tutorial :) I wanted to ask which colour of the boba wrap are you wearing on the video?

[@clairej5675]

My baby hated in Moby wrap until I watched this video. Now she loves Moby wrap. Thank you.

[@WilsonHomestead]

Yay! I’m so glad it was helpful!!!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby in four weeks and were gifted a boba wrap. This video was certainly helpful. Thank you.

[@WilsonHomestead]

Oh how exciting! I hope it all goes well for you! Glad it was helpful!

[@catieq5270]

@@WilsonHomestead our doctor called us this afternoon and wants to induce us this Tuesday due to elevated bile levels and fetal growth restriction. I’m just a little overwhelmed.

[@WilsonHomestead]

Oh wow, I hope it all went well and you're holding your sweet baby now ;)

Yay, so happy to hear that! Congratulations on your baby girl :) I hope you enjoy the those newborn snuggles, they're the best!!

[@mariahportorreal2287]

Thank you all the other videos didn’t make sense this really helped

[@WilsonHomestead]

I'm so glad it was helpful! Sometimes I have to watch a bunch of different videos before I find one that I understand haha ;)

[@faithy5267]

Thank you so much! I used my boba wrap with my first and 4 years later using it with my second! Definitely a great visual for me after so long lol

[@WilsonHomestead]

You're welcome, so glad it helped! ;)

[@halleide4251]

Thank you, my only struggle is the baby wrap gets loose and I feel like my babe starts to sink. I’m constantly adjusting her

[@jmilsotelo]

I have the cuttle bug too and I noticed it’s heavy and super warm, I’m so glad o came across this video!!

[@WilsonHomestead]

Awesome, glad it was helpful ;)

[@gilliannimmo-james311]

Hi! This is a great tutorial. Just curious--in the video, you said you wear the wrap for most of the day whether baby is in it or not. How do you breastfeed without removing the wrap? I love wearing mine, but when I need to feed my son I've just had to take it off, and since he eats a lot right now, it gets to be a bit of a hassle. Thanks, and please let me know!

[@angelaisakovic1137]

thank you! i finally figured out the boba wrap with this tutorial!

[@WilsonHomestead]

You're welcome! Awesome! I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@quirawlins7376]

Thank you for this video!!! I have a 6 week old and I received this wrap as a gift from my registry and I almost regretted it because I couldn't figure out how to wear it. Now I do ☺️

[@WilsonHomestead]

Yay! Glad it was helpful!

[@maryhawkins3089]

Same!

[@Jo-dx5kk]

How is the babies legs positioned inside the wrap for the newborn hold? Is it not putting a strain on the knees or hips of the baby?

[@elelem123]

Thank you so much!! I managed to get my 5 day old into the boba wrap and sleeping on my first try with your tutorial!

[@nocia5304]

This tutorial is great, but do you know if there’s any way to prevent the baby from kind of slipping down? I’ve had the boba wrap since my toddler was born and I had the same issue/fear. Like just me walking around and trying to get tasks done the baby just seems to shift down low. I have them start within kissing distance, but after a few minutes they’re much lower down my chest and it freaks me out. They’re still in the wrap correctly, but is it normal for them to shift down? Or should I be trying to wrap everything even tighter?

[@BLABLArsen]

I've done this wrap so many times and it is my favorite one! You have a new subscriber! :)

[@WilsonHomestead]

Awesome! Yes I love it too! Thank you 😊

[@jennaferreira3141]

[@krista8828]

Did you make a video for if the baby is more than 10lbs? We’re right at 10 now

[@krista8828]

Never mind! Watched until the end

[@WilsonHomestead]

Haha glad it was answered :)

[@skyread1765]

Do their feet have to be tucked in? I’m really small and my month old is longer than my torso and I can’t bend when her feet are tucked in

I just received one of these for my 1st child, & your video was the best on how to wear this thing. Thank you so much! Also, I just subscribed to your channel, after seeing all the other awesome videos you have. :D

[@aary9176]

Pros and cons of boba wrap versus the nalakai baby sling ? Weather, everyday chores, walks, breathability etc lol thank you!!!

[@WilsonHomestead]

I'll add it to my list to make some comparison videos soon! But the short answer is that I definitely prefer the boba wrap over the nalakai ring sling. I just like wraps more than slings for the security while I do chores and take care of the other kiddos. Boba wrap is also pretty breathable compared to a sling and I feel like it's more comfortable since the weight is distributed over both shoulders instead of just one :) I hope that was helpful ;)

[@karladayana8729]

I have this wrap and even tho it’s my 4th baby I’m lost lmao. Thank you! This helped a lot.

[@WilsonHomestead]

Yeah it takes a bit to figure it out, but so worth it! :D

3:35 mins -When she actually starts showing how to put it on 3:35 Hey mommas if your in a hurry to get baby in boba this comment is for you. I just had to say when it started bcus my baby was nonstop crying and I just wanted to her to start wrapping baby already so I can get my baby to settle down

[@LazyPod28]

as first time mom this was super super helpful! and he is sooo cute :)

[@WilsonHomestead]

Thank you!!

[@tracy8066]

I have the same wrap and it says in the instructions to start with the logo right over your heart.....so it would be much higher than where you have it at the start ?

[@WilsonHomestead]

Yes, I read that in the instructions too, but I've found that bunching it up and putting the label on my stomach is easier for me :)

[@rossyrodriguez3471]

This helped me soooooo much this is my second time trying the boba and I was lost 😂 this helped me soooo much!!!

Oh I'm so glad to hear that! ;) Happy I could help!

[@sarikatimmi]

is there a minimum weight

[@77thezone]

When I did it my baby was a bit high up any suggestions? She 7 pounds right now

[@WilsonHomestead]

Try to loosen it and scoot your baby down more. It takes practice to figure out how to get it where you want it ;)

[@WilsonHomestead]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

[@kelseyrodgers394]

I make sure this is tight, but I feel like she’s sliding down. Also, I feel like she doesn’t have enough air to breath. I have her in the newborn hold as shown here. Andy suggestions? And does anyone feel like breast size is an issue? Like bigger makes this more awkward?

[@WilsonHomestead]

Maybe try tying the whole thing higher up to start with. Then as you wear it the baby won't slouch down so much. You want them high enough they are close enough to kiss, and that'll help with her having enough air. You want their head higher than the panel that goes horizontal across their back. Breast size shouldn't be an issue, you could try getting her more in between your breasts instead of laying on top of them? Just playing around with tying and positions. I hope that helps and let me know if you're still having issues :)

[@joxku]

Is the the grey color or the serene grey color?

[@WilsonHomestead]

It's just the grey :) This one I have is darker than the serene grey, so it hides stains better haha I haven't checked in awhile but I think that color in particular might be cheaper on amazon than Boba's website, here is the exact one I got amzn.to/3fe38VF

[@LifewithAlicia_]

My baby is 2 months . I wonder if this is late to start?

[@PhoebeWood]

Alicia, its perfect for you to start. You can use it now.

[@WilsonHomestead]

No, you can definitely start now! 😊 He is probably too big to do the newborn hold, but you can do the regular one 😄

[@jessicawilbur3615]

My first son was 13 pounds at birth and my new baby is due in 5 weeks and already measuring 8 pounds, will I still be able to do a newborn hold of he's that big?

[@kchachalove]

3:31 for instructions

[@countrygirlxo7188]

I’ve tried this with 3 kids no matter what I can’t get them comfortable in these things

[@WilsonHomestead]

Oh bummer! Yeah with my first I couldn't get it comfortable at all, it can be frustrating!

[@joselynrobles1301]

My son is 9 lbs and a month old do you think he too big foe the newborn hold?

[@yeahyeahyeah2935]

It depends on the baby. My 9 pound one month old didn’t like the newborn pouch hold. I tried it so many times. I finally just tried a normal hug hold and my baby finally napped for so long! Sometimes almost 4 hours! But usually 1-2.5 hours.

[@MokInfinity87]

Hey! Thank you for the video, my wife has been trying to remember the sequence of wrap. Now she's got it, we also have a 16 month old son and now a 14 day old daughter!!! Cool catching the video on those days

[@WilsonHomestead]

That is awesome! So glad it's working for ya :)

[@safianassrallah2190]

I can use it for one month old baby right??

[@WilsonHomestead]

Yes 👍 it goes more by weight though, whenever they’re 10 lbs then to switch to the hug hold instead of the newborn hold 🤍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIeQc6dva6adpa8
