🧣 Babywearing: getting the ergonomic carry right
Safe carrying keeps baby supported and the airway clear.
The golden rules of babywearing
1. What to prepare
Use a carrier suitable for baby’s size and development; keep baby high, close, face visible and chin off the chest. Follow the manufacturer’s fitting instructions.
2. What to check
Check often, avoid hot cooking and do not sleep while wearing baby. Ask for individual advice for premature or medically vulnerable infants.
