One way stretchy wraps are commonly available and can be a challenge to use well, due to the lack of stretchiness. Most will only stretch a little across their width, and not across their length (eg the Scottish Baby Box wrap). This photo tutorial should help you gauge the space needed for your baby more effectively, and work with the fabric to achieve a safe, snug carry (the pocket wrap cross carry, PWCC).

Follow the steps to ensure a safe and snug carry; the time spent preparing really pays off when baby is put in, far less fiddling and adjustments and baby will be much less likely to sink as you move around or when they fall asleep.
