Double hammock is a popular style of tying a woven wrap around a baby or toddler for babywearing. It involves creating a secure and comfortable seat for the baby or toddler, with the fabric forming a supportive and comfortable cocoon around them. The double hammock is so called because the fabric is doubled up and spread out across the back, providing extra support for both the wearer and the child.
Double hammock is a versatile and supportive way of carrying a baby or toddler using a woven wrap. This style of wrapping involves creating a secure seat for the child, with the wrap fabric spread out across the back and doubled up for extra support. It’s a popular choice for parents who want to carry their child for longer periods, as the double layers of fabric distribute the child’s weight evenly across the wearer’s body.
To create a double hammock, the woven wrap is first draped over the wearer’s shoulders and brought down to the waist. The fabric is then spread out across the back, creating a supportive seat for the child, and the tails are brought around the front and tied securely. This creates a snug and comfortable fit that can be adjusted as necessary.
One of the benefits of the double hammock is that it can be used from birth to toddlerhood, and can be adjusted to accommodate different sizes of children. With practice and the right technique, it can be a comfortable and secure way to keep your child close and your hands free.
