Babywearing is my life or I should say Babywearing bought life to my life.

Being a mother of two under three is a blessing and at the same time, it is tiring. When my little girl was born I made two decisions that I will cloth diaper my baby and will use carrier religiously. I would have collapsed without a carrier. It’s difficult to step out with two kids without my carrier. We often think that babywearing is suitable after 6 months, but that’s not true. Some carriers are specially designed for newborns and can be used till toddlerhood.

If you were going to use your baby carrier with a new-born, then it is important that you understand the special needs of babies at such tender age.

New-borns weight may vary from 2.5kg to 4kg+ with the average at around 3kg+ on birth. Normally, babies neck muscles would only grow enough to hold their head when they are about 4 to 5 months old. Before they achieve neck control it’s important to make them support their neck.

Another important thing to know is that all babies are born bowlegged. For them, the curled position is the most comfortable position as this is their womb position. With time, this bow leggedness will go and their position becomes normal itself.

While choosing a carrier we need to take care of many things and these two are important.

How to select Most Suitable Baby Carrier for your Baby

Knowing these, the most suitable baby carriers for babies are the Baby Ring Slings, Soft Structured Carriers, and Baby Wraps. All these can be used effortlessly with average size new-borns, letting babies curl up in froggy style with upright neck support for the baby before they improve neck control.

Generally, people think that soft structured carriers cannot wrap as cozily around the infant compared to a sling or wrap. But that’s not true.

With little adjustment and care, you can use the specially designed carrier for infants also. I tried Cookiie Yoga Carrier for my little one and was totally satisfied. I believe the minimum weight of the infant has to be 3.5kg to use this carrier.
