# Is it possible to carry a premature baby or a baby weighing less than 3.5 kg?

# Baby carriers for babies weighing less than 3.5 kg

The standards for baby carriers and slings in Europe require a minimum weight of 3.5 kg (7,7 lbs). No baby carrier manufacturer can therefore officially claim to use a baby carrier under 3 kg.

Nevertheless, most parents can carry an infant under the weight indicated in the baby carrier or sling without worry. Of course, it is important to choose a physiological baby carrier that is adapted to the physiology and morphology of a newborn. It is important to make sure that the airways are clear and visible and that the baby is in a sitting position and not lying down.

In the case of a very premature baby, it is recommended to ask the doctor's advice.

# To resume:

* baby carrier minimum weight: European standards require companies to note 3.5 kg (7,7 lbs) as the minimum weight. However, they can be used even if the weight is lower
* only one type of baby carrier is recommended: the physiological or ergonomic baby carrier with a booster/headrest to be adapted from birth. It is necessary to take care that the physiology of baby is respected
* the baby wrap remains the most recommended way to carry an infant

If your baby is premature, it is best to ask your doctor.
