In practice
My baby doesn't like to have her head covered when she is awake in the wrap. Should I cover it?
Baby's head doesn't necessarily need to be completely covered (some children can't stand having fabric on their head) but before 4 months, the head should be kept on at least up to the top of the ear.Some readersIs my baby wrap too tight for my baby?
Baby should be contained but the fabric should not be too loose or too tight. The airways should be kept clear.

The "belly to belly" also called "belly from 3 months" is a symmetrical and centered carrying in which baby is within kissing range.

When your baby is in the Double Back Hammock and has fallen asleep, you can cover his or her head with the strap on the side where it leans. To do this, grasp the top edge of the strap as close to your child's head as possible. Pull it up to release some of the fabric. Slip the excess over Baby's head (over his hair, not his face). The manoeuvre can be made easier if you lean forward a little to bring your baby's head towards you.

If you are in a hurry... If you follow the advice and safety rules in the instructions, this is impossible. The sling and the baby carrier hold your baby under your buttocks, between your legs, on your back, shoulders and neck. This fear stems from a lack of knowledge about baby slings.

We can distinguish two periods: Before 3 months, your baby cannot hold his head and breastfeeding in a sitting position will be less easy to achieve: - Maybe your baby doesn't like having fabric on his head.

After you've installed your sling, whether it's the No Knot Little Wrap or the No Knot Woven Wrap, you may have some excess fabric “hanging out”. Good news, it can have other uses!

The concept of a strong shoulder is pedagogical, the goal is to give the carrier the indications on his first carries while keeping his habits and reflexes already acquired with the baby. During a workshop, we ask the parents to spontaneously hold a weighted baby, without any other indication from the instructor. The shoulder spontaneously chosen is the one we will consider as "strong". We notice that it is easier for the carrier to start carrying the baby this way.

Indeed, the presence of elastane in the fabric of our babywraps gives these edges which roll. We consider this to be rather an advantage when in use as the edges always roll towards the wrong side of the fabric. Without even looking, you can tell if your fabric is inside out or right side up. This is important to avoid tournicotis (turning the fabric on itself without doing it on purpose) by raising the upper strap on baby for example. We also recommend washing the wrap before using it for theFew readersBaby stands up straight, is toned in the Little Wrap Without A Knot?
It is sometimes difficult to get the back of a very toned baby to roll up. The cloth should roll around the buttocks, thighs and down to the knees (like when you tuck a mattress into the sheet).

Try carrying baby with both hands: support the buttocks with the whole forearm, support the back and neck with the other hand and bring the knees up. Can baby roll up? If so, great!

When carrying with arms, you can observe that he gathers on the chest of the carrier, this is a good indication of the most physiological position for him.
