How to wear the Monkeywrap
The Monkeywrap® can be tied and worn many ways. Once you tie your Monkeywrap® once or twice and get the feel for how you like to wear it with your baby, tying becomes second nature - Like tying your shoelaces.
Important News - Baby wearing experts world-wide have agreed that wearing your baby facing out in any carrier that allows baby's legs to dangle down can create dangerous pressure on their growing spine. There have been past concerns about having your baby facing out for extended periods of time due to pressure on baby's pelvis/spine as well as over-stimulation and while Monkeywear cautioned against lengthy wear in this position, we no longer suggest wearing your baby facing out in the Monkeywrap.
Wearing your baby in the hip hold offers baby better back support and gives them a great view of more of their surroundings without putting them in a potentially vulnerable position.

- Final thoughts
- Newborn/Nursing monkey (from birth) - When carrying your baby in this hold ensure that you have your baby in an upright reclined position and that baby's airway is always open. Use the Monkeywrap to position your baby properly, ensuring baby's chin is not on their chest. You must be able to put 2 fingers under baby's chin and see baby at all times. The Monkeywrap can shield baby from the world but they must have fresh air available to them and you must be able to look down at them to continuously check their breathing and prevent possible positional asphyxia.

To reduce packaging and the waste our company creates, we have decided not to include a DVD with each Monkeywrap® and instead we have provided video instructions as well as PDFs of our written instructions here on our website.
