Stage One - The Evolution Base Wrap

~ You will need a stretchy wrap approximately  18″ x 60″ ~

Step 1

Place the baby in the wrap, ensuring that you have enough length on the shorter side to bring the wrap over the baby.

Step 2

Bring the baby's hands up to it's chest, then pull the shorter section of the wrap over the baby's body and tuck firmly underneath

Step 3

Tuck the baby's legs up to it's chest (in a way that is comfortable to the baby) then bring the long section of the wrap over the baby's shoulder, then around under the baby's bottom (supporting the legs) and back up toward the second shoulder.

Step 4

Gently lift up the baby and bring the wrap through. Ensure you go over both shoulders.

Step 5

Bring the wrap back across the baby's body, completely covering the hands and feet.

Step 6

Then once more, gently lift the baby and bring the wrap underneath. (Note the "Tail End")

    I used this wrapping technique on my last session this week…. What a game changer and I wish I would have known this sooner ! Thank you so much Sandra for sharing this with us ! Your constant support to help improve the skills of newborn photographers all over the world is very much appreciated…HUGE thank you from Calgary

    This wrapping is not as easy as it looks – I think my wrap may be a tictch to short but I will persevere.
    Thank goodness for this tutorial as I have time to practice.
    Great video for learning.
    Many thanks for your help and support
