Carrying Your Baby: The Rucksack or Tibetan Carry
When I had my second child, I was fortunate enough to have a Malawian woman living next door. It was she that taught me how to carry my baby hands free with a simple long piece of cloth. She called this a “rucksack,” and carried all three of her children this way. Some also refer to this method of carrying a baby as the Tibetan carry.
Here are two excellent videos that will show you how to carry both your infant and your toddler in a rucksack. Always be sure to have someone help you when you are first learning this method of baby carrying. The rucksack is a wonderful way to keep baby close and secure while keeping yourself hands free!
