My favorite nursing carry is just a FWCC, but I have stretchy boobs, so I can bring them up high enough

My favorite back carries are a ruck (for quick trips), and double hammock if DS is going to be up for a while. I like to bend over when I get them up on my back and hold the top rail tight (usually w/ my teeth

) while I tuck the bottom up b/t LO and myself (making sure I get the material out to his knees and that his knees are higher than his bum). I then stand up a little while I tightening the wrap so that he sinks down into the "seat" some. I usually have to adjust (wiggle him up higher and tighten again/check the seat) some b/c I like for him to be up high enough to see over my shoulder.

my fav. back carry is the double hammock. lots of videos on youtube!! but really they just take lots of practice. do the wrap over and over without a baby on you. just get it so you know which piece of fabric is going where when. have someone spot you and make sure the wrap goes under the legs etc.

my fav front is the fwcc. i almost never use anything else.

I grab the bottom rail, and scoop their butts in.

My go-to is Jordan's back carry.

I found an amazing tutorial on YouTube for a nursing carry. Poke me if I don't come back with the link

I like FWCC or Poppins Hip Carry and for back carries, I do a simple ruck.

My favorite back carry is double hammock with a freshwater finish. I found this article really helpful in learning to get this carry comfortable for me and my baby: http://www.showmeslings.co.uk/get-do...ouble-hammock/

My favorite nursing carry is a front cross carry or short front cross carry, or for a hip carry I like Poppins. All three of those can be completely pre-tied and then you just pop the child in and spread the passes from knee to knee.

I really like her tutorials: http://www.wrapyouinlove.com/
And how she makes a good seat. I finally bought a woven wrap, so far I prefer a FWCC and a sling. I have a bad shoulder, those are the best for me. I haven't figured out a back carry yet, the best one so far is a secure high back carry (that's the name) but still I think my girl is too short. Her little legs only go so far
