Babywearing is safe<\/strong> and wonderful when practiced correctly. It\u2019s a technique that you must learn and there are rules to be followed.<\/p>\n

Please read the instructions<\/strong> manual that came with your carrier. Also watch the videos either online, or on the DVD that you may have received with your carrier. They contain valuable information for using your carrier with safety.<\/p>\n

Make sure that your baby\u2019s chin is about\u00a0 2,5 cm (1 inch) away from his\/her chest, and never let your baby curl too much towards his\/her tummy, so that the airway<\/strong> is open and the baby breathes regularly and effortlessly.<\/p>\n

Make sure that the fabric of the carrier covers your baby at least up to his or her knees<\/strong>. In seated position the knees should be at least at the same height or higher than his or her bottom, so that the baby sits comfortably in the carrier in a deep squat<\/strong> position. Letting your babies knees dangle lower than bottom height, it is only friction that keeps the baby on you and this is not safe.<\/p>\n
