How to Carry a Baby on Your Back with Just a Blanket

1.  Pick up the child by its arms and swing it over your head onto your back. Hope that the baby’s head is strong enough to support itself. The baby’s legs will rest around your waist.
2.  Bend at the hips so the baby and your back are parallel to the ground. Arrange your blanket on the ground beneath you so that it is folded in half.
3.  Pick up the blanket by the top two corners. Flip the blanket over your head so that it covers the baby.
4. Tie the top two corners above your chest, just under your collarbones. The blanket should rest around the same place on the baby.
5. Grab the bottom two corners and adjust until the blanket rests under the baby’s butt. Excess blanket will be tucked down there as well. Tie the two corners of the blanket under your chest, above your belly button.       6. Move around a bit while holding your arms behind your back to protect the baby. You do this to make sure the contraption is stable.                                                                                                                        7.  Balance your bags on your head and walk home.
