Wearing your baby benefits both both you and your child. It regulates the body temperature and is what comes closest to being in the womb. Baby get to hear your heart beat and has a sense of safety and closeness.
 |
From birth, you can wear your baby in the front carrying position. This carry allows you to be close with your baby, nurse your baby and still get things done like housework, shopping, taking care of your family, etc. To begin, tie the bottom waist straps to your waist, leaving the body in front of you. |
 |
Hold your baby in front of you and bring the body (of the carrier) up over his back, tossing the shoulder straps over your shoulders. |
 |
While supporting your baby with one hand, grab the shoulder straps and cross them over your back and bring them around to the front, crossing them under your baby's bottom. |
 |
Tie a good, tight bow/knot. Don't be afraid to adjust the carrier to get the height and tightness you need to feel secure. |
 |
Congratulations, you’re now wearing your baby! |
Note - You can also have the baby facing away from you by following the above
instructions except his back would be to your chest and the straps would go
under his armpits.
