Starting on May the Fourth (as in "May the Force Be With You"), the May the Fourth Trimester Challenge is the latest creation I've written with the Babywearing Challenge group! This challenge is a great way for new wrappers to learn a month's worth of carries, and the carries are all newborn-friendly or have modifications for newborns - perfect for the "fourth trimester."
