And, I managed to get Westley into a back carry in a wrap by myself today at work! Yippy!
that's awesome! I hope I am able to do this..if not with a wrap at least a MT. I just made another one because I learned you need a 'tall bodied' MT for a newborn high back carry.

Hmmm. I always used a normal MT, and just tied it above the bust instead of around the waist. It seems like a tall body one would give the babe too much room to slip around. Are you supposed to fold it down or something?

well, this was based on the fact that my other mei tai (which was made using this tutorial) was extra short-bodied. By tall bodied I mean Kozy-size - not super tall, but with enough room to fold the bottom straps up under the baby's bottom. The way I understand it, if the top straps are tied snugly around the baby's back they won't be able to slip around.
Baby boy King was born at 8:32 pm. Very quick - midwife arrived at 7:45. Not sure how long 'active labor' was. Still working on a name, hopefully we'll decide by the morning. oh, 8 lb, 12 oz.
