One Week as a Wrapper - Day 4
I’ve drifted into using a ruck for back carries - an ironic twist for a former ruck-impaired BWCC fan. But the more I practice the more I like it - quick, comfortable and easy now that I realise the baby won’t fall out even if I don’t get a perfect ’seat’ under her bum. And Meena likes being able to burrow deep into the wrap - always a bonus when it works for both of us.
Terrifying Wrap Challenge No. 2 - speed wrapping on a moving bus.
Emmy has just thrown up on the bus. I have about 10 seconds to get us out of our seats and into another before a horde of about 200 commuters gets on at the next stop. I pull Meena unceremoniously off the breast and stuff her at superhuman speed into the crosses of my FCC. Scooping up Emmy and the bags, I escape down the aisle to grab the last remaining free seat. We’ve done it! The unfortunate boarding passengers recoil in horror as they come across the puddle of vomit, but we huddle at the back unapologetically. “I feel much better now!” says Emmy cheerfully. For the first time this week the wrap has come into it own and outdone anything my mei tais could do. This could be my legacy carrier…. It’s definitely going to be my designated public transport carrier.
