Secured High Back Carry (SHBC) with a newborn

[StiinaLustig]

Great video: thanks so much! I've been RRTT but I *do* hate ruck straps. Very excited to do with a chest belt. Loved this carry with my toddler last year! :)

Yes all traditional baby (newborn) carries are on the back because it is more practical to get on with hard work. Personally i could do all I needed to with my newborn strapped to my front and felt a lot better with him there. I loved the back carry from about 4 months. Oh and go the babywearing Dad! Very cool.

This is a great newborn back carry. I have been using this with my 2 week old and its worked perfectly. Moby wraps and similar stretchy wraps should not be used for back carries, just a reminder

[HappyHippieHomemaker]

Awesome video!  Hooray for babywearing dadies!!

[crazybabysittertwin]

wow, great job papa! thanks for posting!

i prefer the front carries for a newborn. this is great for a bigger baby....but not a delicate newborn.

[ummayesha2009]

@blueskies145 traditional carries for even a newborn are all back carries.

Scary...

[lynzbh]

omg i hope that is a doll!

[loewe1884]

cutie sleeping babyyyyy...♥ I dont dare to do like that...I'm afraid to make baby fall down.. >_<

[pipihuiro]

howw so cute daddy, i want that man, really.

[LittoMoonLight]

i think the baby is too young

[mandaloolu]

@LittoMoonLight - not really. I carried my newborn high on my back and it works wonderfully with a wrap, provided the wrap is made of secure and supportive strong cloth. The supportive fiber should ideally cradle baby's body and head to prevent neck from flopping back.

Its a nice wrap for a toddler, as a mother of three I would not recommend it for a newborn what so ever. they make better holds for that, front holds. There were actually moments where babys neck was not supported, such as when you were moving baby (fake or not) from back to front.

[mandaloolu]

@mksers A nice strong supportive wrap is actually excellent for a newborn and holds them very secure, provided the baby's body and head are cradled by the wrap

This is the best way to carry a newborn! Thank you for posting this video!

[naijabebe]

Heeey, well done. That demo was really cool to watch and as your a man as well, i'm impressed.

[escapethevillage]

My arms don't do those things he can do.

I am flexibility challenged I think.

[Harmony96]

I am similarly challenged. But my arms are just plain too short.

[ImminentlyWise]

oooh scary, I would want my newborn on the front personally.

[kep16]

The perfect demo. Thanks so much!

[rececileduster]

Actually that wasn't a reasl baby.

[mrsjtwalker]

Thanks for the fabulous demo. I was able to do this carry with my 1-week old daughter using my Sleepy Wrap, and I couldn't believe how secure and comfortable it felt. Excellent video!

[idamr]

How about baby's head if carrier stands up straight? I still think back carrying newborns isn't very good idea...

[triquestral]

That was my thought as well. There isn't any support for the head and I can't see how it WOULDN'T flop backwards as soon as he stood up properly. Unless gravity settles the head firmly into the V of the cross? It's a great demo of the tie - I just feel it's a lot of manhandling for a newborn as well as being iffy on the head support.

[Kymbr]

The wrap supports the baby's head by being snug at the neck. It's very supportive and comfortable and wonderful for carrying a newborn all the way up to a heavy toddler. I love this carry and Paulus, YOU ROCK!!

I used this carry and a ruck in the hospital when my daughter was born. I loved how I could get my daughter nice and secure from the start. Awesome carry. Do some research before you start nay saying everything!!

[kalohabreeze]

I really am not a big fan of back carrying newborns but this looks so safe and comfy I will be trying this one with my new little one :)

[phasicmisc]

This was so helpful! Especially with both getting baby onto your back and off. Thanks so much for sharing.

[sfreedom2007]

What type of fabric is it? How long and wide?

[BEAT2EZ]

Wonderful demo. This is a lovely carry for a newborn demonstrated very nicely. Thanks for also showing how to get baby off.

[tajchiu]

What brand of woven wrap are you using?

[gothiccowgirl]

I don't know which brand he's using, but I've done this with a Moby, and I imagine any decent wrap will do.

[UlrikeDG]

Very helpful! Thanks for sharing.
