Baby Positioning

  • Carrier comes to the nape of baby’s neck, no higher than their earlobe

    Baby’s face should be in view at all times without adjusting carrier. Back panel and straps should never cover baby’s face. 8+ month old babies and toddlers with good torso control can be “arms out” with the back panel right below their armpits, no lower.

  • Close enough to kiss

    Baby’s head should be high enough for you to kiss without adjusting the carrier or bending over.

  • Baby’s knees are higher than bottom (“M” Position)

    Accomplish this by performing a “pelvic tuck” - scoop baby’s bottom and lift their legs by running your hands inside the carrier, down baby’s back, to the back of their knees and lift. Bottom of carrier should extend from knee pit to knee pit. Bottom of carrier should not extend beyond the knee pit. Baby’s legs should be able to swing freely.

  • “C - shaped” back for newborns

    Newborn’s back and bottom is gently curved like a “C” when looking at them in profile and their front is supported on your chest. Support for newborn’s head comes from resting on the chest of the caregiver. If carrier is over-tightened against your body, their back will be straight.

  • Snug fit

    Carrier is tightened to feel “huggable” and supportive with slack removed from back panel and straps.

  • Waistband high on caregiver’s torso for newborns

    For newborns and young babies, the “waistband” of the carrier will be positioned high on your torso, often right under your bust. By wearing the waistband high, your young baby will be positioned to a kissable height and the back panel will be shortened so the panel and straps don’t cover your little one’s face. As your baby grows taller, the waistband will be gradually lowered on your torso and width of the carrier adjusted to a bigger setting for knee to knee support.

  • If breastfeeding baby in carrier, monitor baby and baby's breathing at all times and have at least one hand supporting baby's head

    Breastfeeding in carrier is not hands free and baby MUST be monitored at all times. Once done breastfeeding, readjust baby and carrier to proper position.

How to Breastfeed in Carrier

  • WARNING: Breastfeeding in carrier is not hands free. If breastfeeding baby in carrier, monitor baby and baby's breathing at all times and have at least one hand supporting baby's head. Once done breastfeeding, readjust baby and carrier to proper position. Breastfeeding in a carrier is baby and parent body dependent - some parents might not be able to.

  • Step 1

    While baby is in carrier, loosen both straps significantly so baby is low on your body. You want to align their mouth to be breast/nipple height.

  • Step 2

    Shift waistband and baby baby off center, aligning them with the breast you are going to nurse on. After this, their mouth should be centered on your breast. Baby isn’t at “kissable” height here, they are very low and centered on your breast and must be monitored.

  • Step 3

    Tighten straps in off centered position. You will notice one side will have a lot more slack to remove than the other because carrier is off centered - this is okay and to be expected.

  • Step 4

    Lift shirt and latch baby, keeping one hand on baby’s back of head at all times. You might need to adjust carrier tightness again with other hand after latch. Support baby’s head during entire nursing session.

  • Step 5

    Repeat for other side if needed.

  • Step 6

    After done nursing, loosen straps again, recenter waistband and baby, tighten carrier and perform pelvic tuck once more. If you get a lot of slack/movement when nursing, you might need to raise waistband again. Baby should be back in proper safe position immediately after nursing.

  • TIP - Practice nursing in carrier while at home

    By practicing at home, you are able to take your time and make adjustments in a comfortable setting.

  • TIP - Nurse on one side or bottle feed a small amount as you normally would before practicing in carrier

    This way your baby is a little satisfied and more relaxed as your try something new

  • TIP - If a practice session isn’t going well, return to nursing/feeding as normal and try again the next day.

    There is nothing wrong with stopping a practice session and trying again the next day! This way both you and baby don't get too frustrated as you explore and practice something new together.

  • TIP - Use nursing tank top alone or under a shirt while breastfeeding in a carrier

    Use a nursing tank top to prevent the webbing on the carrier's waistband from rubbing on your skin.
