Video summary
There are many ways to make a wrap to carry the baby skin-to-skin, from a length of locally available cloth to a custom-made pouch. All wraps work well as long as the baby is held securely between the mother’s breasts, it supports the baby’s head tilted up slightly to allow him to breathe freely and the wrap lets the mother move about easily with both hands free. This video shows examples of several wraps used around the world.
