Question 1

When to carry baby on back or on hip position?

Accepted Answer

If you are in a hurry…

Usually around 3-4 months but it can sometimes be 6 months (depending on the baby). You can opt for this position as soon as your child: 1. can turn his head by himself. 2. can turn himself on his stomach. 3. Lifts his feet when lying on his back.

As we know, back carry in a baby wrap or baby carrier is very practical and can even be indispensable.

It is the position that offers the greatest freedom of movement for the carrying parent. This type of carrying remains a physiological carrying if it is done at the right time.

But then, when should baby be carried on back or on hip? From 3-4 months. Baby then has a growing curiosity and asks to see what is going on around him, without being turned only towards his carrier. Carrying on the back for the very young babies may surprise parents who do not practice it, but it means recovering a greater freedom of action by discovering a new way of communicating with your baby (yes, we don't have eyes in the back).

If carrying on your back scares you at first, the hip carry is the perfect compromise. It allows you to open baby's view to 180°, just like the back carry with the booster seat (so that he can see over the shoulder of his carrier and not only his shoulder blades). This is also the period when his eyesight is m

Question 2

When can I start using a baby carrier?

Accepted Answer

The baby carrier: from what age? Your baby has just arrived and you want him/her to be constantly by your side for any trip. The baby carrier comes naturally to your mind because it is very practical for walks and leaves your hands free.

You only wonder when you will be able to use it. Don't panic, we tell you everything!

From what age can I put my baby in a baby carrier?

From birth! But not all baby carriers can carry a newborn.

The most recommended way to carry a newborn is in a sling or baby wrap for the most physiological approach possible. However, baby carriers are still a very good way to carry your baby as soon as he or she arrives, as long as they respect different criteria.

There are many models of baby carriers but, for an infant, only the physiological baby carrier or a full buckle baby carrier can be your choice to respect his physiological needs. Indeed, they offer to the baby a position respectful of its anatomy: seat rolled up of the lower back, legs spread and raised (and not suspended) in the shape of M and a support for the neck and the head.

When choosing a baby carrier, the best thing to do is to make sure that it is comfortable for you and your baby: wide, comfortable straps and support for the baby's neck.

Question 3

Can I wear my Baby after a C-Section?

Accepted Answer

Is it ok to carry a baby after c-section? The answer is YES, fortunately, but some ways of babywearing after a c-section are more suitable than others.

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.

The baby wraps

For the most suitable babywearing, we strongly recommend the use of a wrap. The wrap is used from birth. It is the most physiological approach that will really wrap your baby and respect the curve of his back.

The Love Radius baby wraps will accompany you in this sweet moment that follows the birth of the little ones.

Accepted Answer

Portage en Hiver, papa et maman avec leurs enfants

If you are in a hurry…

When you carry your baby, you are already sharing your body heat of 37 degrees with him. A good indicator with the wrap: each layer of the wrap represents a layer of clothing. Adjust the fit according to how you feel about the temperature. We recommend that parents do not use a pilot-type suit, which does not allow movement and can therefore keep baby too warm. But keep the extremities protected from the cold (hat, slippers).

Cold weather but you still have to carry your child. This is a question that often comes up: how to dress your baby in winter? Whether it's in a baby wrap, a sling or a baby carrier, stay with us to learn more.

The advantages of winter babywearing

your body heat allows your child to regulate his own temperature: very important for a newborn who cannot regulate it alone
you keep your hands free and it's practical: the stroller on a ground affected by bad weather, it's sometimes complicated

How to baby wear in winter ? Our recommendations

In the baby carrier or the sling, baby benefits from the 37° body heat that you emit. But this is no reason not to cover

Question 6

Hyperextension baby, how to baby wear?

Accepted Answer

Baby hyperextension, what is it?

Hyperextension is characterized by an excessive contraction of the muscles at the back of your child's body. When he is angry, he may arch his back and bend his head backwards. If it's temporary and your baby is still mobile in his limbs, it's probably not pathological. Talk to your pediatrician, it may be an indication that your child is in pain.

Make an appointment with your pediatrician who can help you and your baby.

Baby puts himself in hyperextension, how do I successfully carry him?

Sling pink, the little wrap without a knot, baby comfortable

Some babies show their feelings very early by hyperextending. If you have difficulty putting your baby in a sling or a baby carrier, don't panic. We give you our advice:

Before putting your baby in a sling, it's a good idea to try out your babywearing tool several times. To be sure of your choreography and therefore sure of yourself. In the case of the wrap, beyond the basic knot, you can review the steps shown in our videos or in the instructions, without your baby, by mimicking the gestures. This will help you feel more comfortable if baby cries a little at first.
Once you feel ready and your baby is available, you can start.
