Boba Classic Baby Wrap Vintage Navy: Newborn Fit and Tying Tips

Quick answer

To get a secure newborn fit with the Boba Classic Baby Wrap Vintage Navy, tie the wrap snugly before placing your baby in a front carry, then adjust the fabric so it supports your baby knee-to-knee and nape-to-nape. Always keep the fabric spread and your baby's face visible.

Step-by-step newborn wrap tying

1. Find the center tag: Hold the wrap and locate the center tag (usually a small label). Place the center of the wrap against your chest, with the tag facing outward, and let the tails hang evenly on both sides. Check that both tails are the same length before proceeding; uneven tails make tying harder.
2. Create a snug cross: Bring both tails over your shoulders and cross them behind your back. Then bring them back over your shoulders to the front, keeping the fabric spread flat and untwisted. Avoid letting the fabric bunch; spread it wide over your shoulders to distribute weight.
3. Tie at your waist: Cross the tails in front of you at waist level and tie a double knot. The wrap should feel snug but not tight—you should be able to slide a hand between the wrap and your body. If the wrap sags when you move, retie it tighter; a loose wrap won't support your baby safely.
4. Create a front pocket: Locate the two cross sections on your chest and pull them apart slightly to create a pocket. Hold the pocket open with one hand while you prepare to place your baby. Make sure the pocket is deep enough to hold your baby from shoulder to knee.
5. Place your baby: Hold your baby facing you, with their legs in a froggy position (knees higher than bottom). Slide one hand under the wrap and guide your baby's bottom into the pocket, then use both hands to settle them in. Always keep one hand on your baby until they are securely positioned.
6. Adjust for a secure fit: Pull the fabric up over your baby's back and shoulders, ensuring their face is visible and clear. The fabric should support your baby from the nape of the neck to behind the knees, with knees slightly higher than the bottom. Check that your baby's chin is off their chest and their airway is clear.
7. Spread the fabric: Smooth the fabric over your baby's back and bottom, spreading it wide to create a supportive seat. Make sure the fabric is not twisted and that it covers your baby's back completely. A wide fabric spread prevents the wrap from digging into your baby's legs.
