My first back carry in public was a mess

[Everrgreen]

I need some help! I have been practicing putting DS in a back carry with my wrap and finally felt confident enough to go for a walk down to the farmer's market. Well, at home when he's in the back carry he's always awake, but on the walk he fell asleep and his head flopped back and he started to sag over. It looked awful and I'm pretty sure I was getting some stares from people. So I ended up taking him down and putting him on my front.

What can I do to keep him secure when he falls asleep? Did I just not have him tight enough?

Any advice would be great! TIA!

what carry did you have him in? in a ruck it is hard to support the head. however in a bwcc you can take the outside cross and pull it up over the head and turn the kiddos headto face out so he/she doesn't get too hot... i have a pic somewhere, i'll look for it

Okay...I have to ask...what is a bwcc?

bwcc= back wrap cross carry or also with a chest belt(my fave)


OP don't worry about the pubilc snafu. The 1st time I tried to ruck in public dd butt popped out then I got all tangled up trying toget her down to start over

Thanks, but that's not me! I wish I was that skinny! Those are the videos I learned from. I think she does such I good job showing and explaining that I link her videos often.
