Instructions for Use of Kan-go Wrap for Skin-to-Skin Care

Kan-go Wrap also available with inner vest for discreet nursing. Place the baby inside the vest for skin-toskin benefits or the vest may be placed against the back for Kangaroo Care as shown below.

1. Put on wrap and cross the front pieces, putting one tie through the side opening, bringing ties around to the front and loosely tying them.
2. Place baby on your chest between your breasts with feet inside loose wrap.
3. Pull the under piece tight to secure the baby’s head, then tighten the tie across the back, spreading the fabric for comfort. Repeat this process for the top piece.
4. Position the baby so that the crisscross of the garment is directly under the baby’s ear.
5. Tie securely under the baby’s bottom.
6. When the baby is ready to breastfeed, just pivot the baby inside the wrap and feed.
