This is a great video for those just getting into babywearing, it takes a simple bed sheet and creates a useful baby carrier

this video seriously saved my life. ava is a high needs baby and being a single mother, i dont have many options for affordable carriers. but i did have an extra sheet laying around my apt!!

@grooveavt Babywearing does not need to be expensive to work :) Glad you could use this!

I thought I was responding favourably to this comment made by another poster a year ago "great video, but don't like the comment about baby shut up. Crying is the baby way of communication."

you may like to scroll back and see where it occurs on the thread. :-)

@BabyontheWear Yes.. well she did say "when your baby just won't shut up" at 0:07 into the video So I don't see what your comment is regarding to saying that she didn't say that. She did say that. People did get offended. So why are you saying that is not what she said?

I didn't think this was easy at all. Everyone says it is.. am I the only one who found this to be so difficult that it was really irritating? The knot is impossible because sheets don't tie or slide that easily.. maybe I'm just dense, but this was not easy at all for me and I followed the instructions exactly and tried 3 different sheets trying to make it work right. Couldn't do it. Gave up after an hour.

@xjohnnaxrussellx Please see the slip knot videos for further assistance. I am sorry you had so much trouble with it, It was a little tricky my first time doing it.

while crying is the baby's way of communicating... it is still true that sometimes a baby just won't be quiet, or "shut up"... that's why they have ways of dealing with colicky babies and purple crying... because a baby cry is one of the most nerve racking things in the world... I have 2 kids, and while I don't tell them to shut up, that is how I feel sometimes.... shouldn't be so sensitive, that's how she expressed herself, it's still good info. Thank you, kolohabreeze, for posting!!!

I don't believe it was a serious comment. If it was I wouldn't have posted it.

Thank you for posting this video. I wanted to make a baby wrap but ended up buying the wrong material. Instead of getting a stretchy cotton material or stretch jersey (which I did not see in the store) I ended up buying a regular cotton material. In addition, I bought 6 meters of it and didn't know what to do with it.

But after searching the net, I came across your video and it hit me that I could use the material that I bought, cut it in half and use it as a pouch sling.

Thanks again.

"Also, please kindly understand that I happened to turn away from the camera just as I was saying “fussy baby;” the audio of that statement isn’t very clear and some have thought I might have said something else. OK, you may watch now."

I thought the other poster was remarking on what she may have misheard the demonstrator saying.
