Instructions

Carrying a baby against the tummy offers him the comfort and reassurance needed for the development of his sense of emotional security. However, around the age of 12 months, this carrying position becomes more cumbersome and limits the freedom of movement of his carrier. It is also more difficult to carry a child against the stomach than on the back, but more comforting and reassuring.

Since the baby carrier's fabrics and components have been transported and manipulated several times during manufacturing and its straps more slippery when brand new, the baby carrier should be washed before its first use. We recommend washing it by hand, ideally using no rince soap, or washing it in a garment bag using your washing machine's delicate cycle. and hanging it to dry. The baby carrier should not be ironed. You can use sucking pads to avoid washing it every day.

As soon as you feel comfortable doing it, your baby can be carried on your back. We recommend waiting until he is at least 6 months old or that he can sit by himself so as to avoid all risks of injury or suffocation. With the child's weight properly distributed on your back, shoulders and hips, this carrying position is more comfortable, especially as he grows and becomes heavier. It will give you more freedom in your activities, allowing you to do more demanding tasks without putting your child at risk. The Bämbino is a baby carrier specially designed for carrying heavier, taller children on your back.

You can start carrying your baby on your hip as soon as he can hold up his head. This is an intermediate position which will give both you and your baby greater freedom of movement than on the tummy. Remember that without a baby carrier, we naturally carry a baby by holding him on our hip using one arm.

0-6 months

Carrying your baby tummy to tummy is a position where the baby is held in a crouched position and is the most adequate method for carrying a newborn at least up to the age of 4 months. Your baby's back is kept well-rounded, as if still in the womb, while his knees are pulled upwards and his feet pointing down. This position is the same as when practicing skin-to-skin with your baby, which becomes possible as soon as he is at least 8 pounds, safely and easily. This crouched position will give him the comfort necessary to his sense of emotional security and is known to be beneficial to the development of his bones and joints. Before the age of 6 months, applying tension in the middle of the baby's back needs to be avoided. There are many tying techniques for you to experiment with to perfectly envelop your baby and support him in the ideal position for his stage of development.

6 months and up

Starting at 6 months and when your baby can sit by himself, his spine is sturdy enough to no longer need constant back support. Should he feel constrained, need to move, or feels too hot, you can allow him to free his arms from the wrap. Early on, we recommend the simplest of wraps, the 'cross carry', so you can gain confidence in the technique and in your skills. Another useful method is the 'Kangaroo', which will perfectly support his spine as a newborn. View our videos to discover all of the wrap's options!

From 0-1 months you can leave baby’s legs folded inside the baby carrier.  As soon as the baby begins to extend his legs and push into the bottom of the carrier, his legs should come out on either side.

Before the age of 6 months, applying tension in the middle of the baby's back needs to be avoided. When connecting the horizontal extension, make sure not to tighten the straps too much.

6 months and up

Starting at 6 months and when your baby can sit by himself, his spine is sturdy enough to no longer need back support. Should your baby feel constrained, too warm or in need of some freedom of movement, thanks to the HipGö you can remove the shoulder straps. You can also use the side fasteners instead of the belt's.

This carrying position needs your baby to be able to hold his head up by himself. It should be said that this position is not ideal, as it is less ergonomical than tummy-to-tummy and can be overly stimulating for your baby. Should you still like to use this position, keep its use to periods of 20 to 30 minutes at most and regularly verify your baby's blood flow to his legs. This is done by observing the colour of his skin, which should be pinkish rather than blueish. Should his feet get cold, this could also be a sign of difficulties with his blood circulation and you should set him in a different position. Make sure that his back is neither too flat nor too round, thus creating a bad inverted lumbar curve. Finally, his legs should not be hangong too low: to correct his position, tilt his pelvis as far forward as possible to move his knees as high up as possible and deepen his seating. There are two ways to position your baby facing out to the world, either with his legs inside the baby wrap or out and visible on either side.

You can start carrying your baby on your hip as soon as he can hold up his head. This is an intermediate position which will give both you and your baby greater freedom of movement than on the tummy. Remember that without a baby carrier, we naturally carry a baby by holding him on our hip using one arm.

6 months and up

As soon as you feel comfortable doing it, your baby can be carried on your back. We nonetheless recommend to wait until he is at least 6 months old or that he can sit by himself so as to avoid all risks of injury or suffocation. With his weight properly distributed on your back, shoulders and hips, this carrying position is more comfortable, especially as he grows and becomes heavier. It will give you more freedom in your activities, allowing you to do more demanding tasks without putting your child at risk.

From 6 months and up

This carrying position needs your baby to be able to hold his head up by himself. It should be said that this position is not ideal, as it is less ergonomical than tummy-to-tummy and can be overly stimulating for your baby. Should you still like to use this position, keep its use to periods of 20 to 30 minutes at most and regularly verify your baby's blood flow to his legs. This is done by observing the colour of his skin, which should be pinkish rather than blueish. Should his feet get cold, this could also be a sign of difficulties with his blood circulation and you should set him in a different position. Make sure that his back is neither too flat nor too round, thus creating a bad inverted lumbar curve. Finally, his legs should not be hangong too low: to correct his position, tilt his pelvis as far forward as possible to move his knees as high up as possible and deepen his seating. There are two ways to position your baby facing out to the world, either with his legs inside the baby carrier or out and visible on either side.

0-6 months

Carrying your baby tummy to tummy is a position where the baby is held in a crouched position and is the most adequate method for carrying a newborn at least up to the age of 4 months. Your baby's back is kept well-rounded, as if still in the womb, while his knees are pulled upwards and his feet pointing down. This position is the same as when practicing skin-to-skin with your baby, which becomes possible as soon as he is at least 8 pounds, safely and easily. This crouched position will give him the comfort necessary to his sense of emotional security and is known to be beneficial to the development of his bones and joints. From 0-1 months you can leave baby’s legs folded inside the baby carrier. Before the age of 6 months, applying tension in the middle of the baby's back needs to be avoided. Deploy the shouldres straps like a sling around the baby's bottom.

Starting at 6 months and when your baby can sit by himself, his spine is sturdy enough to no longer need constant back support. Should he feel constrained, need to move, or feels too hot, you can allow him to free his arms from the wrap. Early on, we recommend the simplest of wraps, the 'cross carry', so you can gain confidence in the technique and in your skills. Another useful method is the 'Kangaroo', which will perfectly support his spine as a newborn. View our videos to discover all of the wrap's options!

6 months and up

A ring sling is not the safest means to carry a baby on your back due to the lack of support to the baby. It should only be used in very short periods of time when you momentarily need extra freedom of movement. As soon as you're done with the task, we recommend that you bring your baby back onto your hip or stomach.

From birth

Called the Cradle or the Madonna, this position is favourable to breastfeeding, but needs to be executed with precaution. Vigilance is a must, as you will need to keep an eye on the baby's breathing and make sure he's not suffocating. His face must be visible at all times and you should be able to slip two fingers between his chin and torso. His neck should not be overly bent. Some people will not recommend you this position, but we will, with the restriction that it should only be used when the baby is actively feeding and set him vertically again as soon as he's done, so as to help with his digestion and breathing. Breastfeeding hands-free is an exceptional experience!
