The Baby Carrier Do’s
Always follow these guidelines for a secure, comfortable, and supportive fit:
1. Positioning for Safety (T.I.C.K.S. Check)
- Keep Face Visible: Make sure you can always easily see their entire face clearly.
- The "Kiss Test": Wear them high and snug. The top of their head should be close enough that you can easily kiss it without straining. The carrier should be worn high on your natural waist.
- Inward Facing: Wear them facing in towards your body.
- Panel Placement: Make sure the top of the panel sits at the nape of the neck, no higher than the bottom of the earlobe, and no lower than the top of the shoulder.
- Check Fit: Assess your baby for goodness of fit and safety once they reach 7 pounds to determine if they are ready for this carrier.
- Inspect Gear: Check the carrier for damage, use the safety loop, and make sure all of the buckles “click” into place.
2. Achieving the Healthy Hip "M Position"
Achieving the M-Position (where the knees are higher than the bottom) is the most critical step for your baby's development.
- Support the Thighs: Provide full support of the bottom and thighs with the seat.
- Proper Seat Depth: Position the seat so it provides support only to the bend of each knee, not past. (This prevents overextending the legs).
- Tighten Smartly: Remove slack from the shoulders and feed it down to the buckle to tighten.
3. Wearing and Nursing Tips
- Waist Style: Wear the waist apron style.
- Strap Style: Wear the straps cross-style.
- Nursing Position: Feed the baby in an upright koala position, and always keep one hand on them while feeding.
- Post-Feed Adjustment: Always bring the baby back into the high and tight position when they are done actively feeding, or if they get drowsy while feeding.
- Waistband Tension: Tighten the waist so that it feels supportive and snug without adding pressure or tension to your body.
