Your baby has just been born and you have made the wonderful choice of carrying your child in a baby wrap or a physiological baby carrier. Freedom of movement for you, comfort and motor, cognitive and social development for them. Physiological babywearing has many benefits.
The important thing is to respect baby's physiology through physiological positions (curved spine, baby's legs raised with knees higher than the bottom and spread hip-width apart…). We know that the first weeks can be confusing and that you are afraid of doing something wrong. Carrying a newborn can be stressful. Don't worry, everything can be learned — trust yourself above all.
Baby is here! How to carry your newborn
Our wraps are stretch wraps, unlike woven wraps, they allow you to tie the knot beforehand, even before placing baby: practical and reassuring!
So, first of all:
Pre-tied knot: Base Knot
As we mentioned above, everything will start with the Base Knot, a knot you tie beforehand before placing baby in it. You can keep the tie on you and put your baby in and take them out without undoing the knot, and this in different positions that we will look at below.
(It's a baby wrap knot for front, side or back!)
Carrying positions for the newborn
After completing the base knot, here are different baby wrap tutorials for the newborn.
