It is possible to do a back wrap with a baby that young, but NOT in a stretchy wrap, only a woven. And I'd check on youtube ot thebabywearer.com to find some videos and info on how to do it. It's trickier than with an older kids - head control! GOod luck!

It's definitely possible but does need a lot of practice (over a bed, in front of a mirror) and I 100% agree that it MUST be done with a woven wrap (or mei tai) and not a stretchy wrap. What you're looking to do is the high back carry.

Yep, I echo the PPs Here's my DD at 8 days old in a back carry! http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...t/IMG_5448.jpg
