To pretie the cross carry (pictures not yet available), start with the center of the wrap at your back. Bring each end around to your front and cross over your chest. The end coming from your right side crosses over your left shoulder and vice versa. Now cross over your back, from left shoulder around to your right side (and vice versa) and tie in the front (a single knot). Leave it loose so that there is room for baby inside the cross.

	Step 1. Pick up baby.
Step 2. Slip baby's right leg under the side of the cross on your left.
	Step 3. Lower baby into the cross so that baby is upright against your chest (tummy to tummy) and the cross is stretching from baby's left knee to right arm. At this point, only one strap is over baby.
Step 4. Now find the other side of the cross (coming from your right shoulder) and stick baby's left leg through that strap.
	Step 5. Spread the inner cross so that the fabric covers baby's entire back, arm to arm, and knee to knee.
Step 6. Spread the outer cross as you did the inner.
	Step 7. Lift baby (wrap and all) up nice and high.
Step 8. Pull on the wrap where it is tied so that the straps over baby are tight, stay tight on your back and around your waist. Pull on each end individually if need be.
	Step 9. Retie, or pull the tie tight under baby's bottom. Tie a double knot.
You are done! Baby can have arms and shoulders out as shown here (provided baby does not require head support).
	. . . or baby's arms can be tucked inside the crosses for a snugger, cuddly wrap.
For a baby who does not have good head control, or for a sleeping or sleepy baby, or for discrete nursing, pull one of the crosses over the back of baby's head for head support.
	This is how the back should look. The more spread the crosses, the better weight distribution to your back.
GETTING BABY OUT: You can remove baby from this wrap without untieing it, and then reinsert baby in the same wrap later (you will likely not need to adjust or retie when inserting baby again).
step 1. To get baby out of the wrap, pull the outer-most cross all the way down under baby's bottom.
Step 2. Pull the remaining cross strap down under baby's bottom. You will need to support baby with your hand.
Step 3. Hold baby with both hands and pull straight up until baby's legs and feet are free of the crosses. Baby is out!
