How to carry your baby?

What babies can be worn?

Newborns can be worn from birth. In the case of prematurity, consult a healthcare professional for approval. There is no age limit for carrying a child.

Check the weight compatibility with the chosen model.

It is especially beneficial for:

- Babies with digestive issues: reflux, colic
- Little ones who have trouble self-soothing
- Children with developmental delays
- Infants with congenital hip dislocation

My baby doesn’t like being worn; is that normal?

Babywearing is beneficial for all children. If your infant doesn’t enjoy it, cries, or has trouble curling up in the carrier because of extension, it’s worth discussing with a professional. A manual therapist (osteopath, chiropractor) can identify if any tensions are causing this issue.

Who can carry the baby?

A baby can be carried by both mom and dad. It’s a way for the father to build a strong bond with the child and to support his partner, especially if she is breastfeeding.

Depending on your postpartum situation (cesarean scar, perineum), check with your midwife or gynecologist if there are any contraindications.

Babywearing doesn’t require a specific physical condition, but you will find that your endurance improves over time!

Another adult (grandparents, nanny) can also use a carrier with your infant if you wish.

However, it is not recommended for another child to carry the baby.

When to wear your baby?

Babywearing fits multiple situations:

- As a mode of transport, to drop off your child at daycare or with the nanny.
- For walks on any terrain, ensuring you are always comfortable in your effort.
- For the baby’s naps; they fall asleep peacefully while you keep your hands free for other tasks.
- To comfort your child if they are in pain or feverish.
- Simply for the pleasure of being close!
