Hi there,
I'm a new mom and I'm interested in babywearing. I've heard that it can be a great way to bond with your baby, but I'm also concerned about safety. My baby is only a few weeks old, so I want to make sure that I am taking all the necessary precautions to keep him safe.
I've read a bit about different types of baby carriers and their safety features, but I wanted to get some advice from other parents who have experience with babywearing. Are there any particular carriers that are better for newborns? What should I look for in terms of safety features? And are there any guidelines or tips that you would recommend for safe babywearing?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello there,
As a parent who has been babywearing for several months now, I can attest to its convenience and benefits. When my baby was a newborn, I used a soft-structured carrier which was great for both my baby and me.
One important thing to keep in mind when using a soft-structured carrier is to always ensure that the carrier is properly adjusted to fit both you and your baby. It's important to check the tightness of the straps and buckles, making sure that they are properly aligned to distribute your baby's weight evenly.
Another tip is to avoid using your carrier for back carrying until your baby has good head control and is at least six months old. This is intended to ensure proper head and neck support, especially in the case of smaller or premature babies. Additionally, you should avoid babywearing during any activities that may pose a risk to you or your baby, like cooking on a hot stove or when driving a vehicle.
In conclusion, always follow the relevant safety guidelines and ensure that you find the most comfortable carrier for both yourself and your baby. Babywearing can be a great way to bond with your baby while navigating your everyday life.
