Cross wrap on your tummy (Frog position)

How to knot

Suitable for a child from 0-6 months and more

This position is as comfortable for the baby as the wearer. It can be used right from birth. Until the age of about 1 month or until baby desires, the legs can be folded in a foetal position inside the wrap by lightly spreading them against the wearers stomach. You will adore this knotting because of its solidity and complete support that it offers the baby….

Here are the basic steps in understanding how to knot the Cross wrap on your tummy (Frog position):


With the baby facing you, slide him/her into the pouch, feet first.
Bring the top portion of the wrap up so as to cover at least (two-thirds) 2/3 of the babies’ head.
The pelvis should be very close against the wearer and the knees of baby bent so as to be higher than his hips or bellybutton. For newborns, until the age of about 5 weeks, it is possible to keep the legs folded in a foetal position in the pocket of the wrap.


If you are more comfortable with the legs of the baby being outside of the pouch, place baby in the frog position. Baby will be in a sitting position rather than being in a crotch suspended position. Well placed, the legs will not hang down in front but will hug the length of the sides of the wearer.
, Pull on each section of the wrap, fold by fold, in order to properly envelop the baby’s body, to keep the baby close to you and keep a proper height.


, Next take each section and cross them under the babies’ bottom.
After having crossed the two sides of the wrap in front, continue to turn them around your waist always passing under babies’ legs. If your baby is very tiny you can also pass under him/her.


You can continue to go around your waist with the rest of the wrap. Make a knot in front or in the back however you feel comfortable.

To support his /her head if the baby falls asleep after being awake or fidgety, open up the material over baby. To avoid too much tension at the base of your neck, one can move the material to the shoulders. To do this, simply fold away the material from the inside near your neck. If the child needs more freedom of movement, it is very easy to free up the arms and adjust the height of the wrap on his/her back.
