Most babies love back carries – it gives them the chance to look around (and especially to see what mom is doing)! Many babies also love having their arms out, enjoying the freedom of movement this position allows. And for most babies, back carries are the perfect opportunity for a nap…<\/p>\n

A common question is what to do when the baby falls asleep in this position and their head starts tilting backward. A few days ago, I had the perfect chance to \u201ccapture\u201d the answer!<\/p>\n

So, Iliana and I were answering emails. Until one of us got bored and decided to take a nap (guess who?).<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Morpheus\u2019 embrace isn\u2019t quite as comfy as mom\u2019s! Since her arms were out, her head ended up tilting back. That\u2019s something we need to fix!<\/p>\n

The solution is to gently tuck the baby\u2019s arms back inside the mei tai, so their head is supported. You can see exactly how in the video below:<\/p>\n
