Soft-Structured Baby Carriers Tips and Tricks
Babywearing can be a great way to bond with your baby, get things done, and it’s also a great way to keep your baby safe. Direct contact with your baby is the best way to monitor them. It’s important to remember safety tips when using any type or baby carrier. We want to share them with you. You can also learn some “tricks of trade” to make babywearing more enjoyable and comfortable. These tips are applicable to all types of baby carriers, including wraps, slings, and Soft-Structured Baby Carriers . However, we focus on soft-structured carriers (SSCs).
Safety first
Your baby should always be carried in a carrier that is properly adjusted. If your SSC is too loose, your baby may fall through the spaces between your shoulder straps, shoulder strap connections, and waist belt.
To ensure that your carrier is in top condition, you should always check it. All types of sewn fabrics, including baby carriers, can be affected by wear and tear. Make sure you check your baby carrier every time you reach for it. Don’t use it if it is damaged.
Make sure you are able to see your baby’s face. Your baby will have a harder time breathing if he or she is in a slumber position. This is especially true for babies who are newer. No matter how much you cover your baby’s face with a blanket or jacket, don’t completely cover it. This applies to all baby carriers, wraps included, as well as slings.
Tips and tricks:
Do you want a better seat?
After you have your baby in your carrier, adjusted your waist belt, and your shoulder straps lifted off your shoulders, do this: gently bounce your shoulders up. Your baby will be able to settle into the carrier easily.
Do you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders?
To reduce the weight on your shoulders and hips, adjust your waist belt to make it sit at the top of your hips. Then tighten it until it is snug. Your shoulder straps should be adjusted so they are snug but not too tight. You’ll ensure that your baby’s weight is distributed to the right place by focusing on your hips, and relaxing on your shoulders.
Do you want to control all the straps?
With the shoulder straps inside, roll your carrier into a tight, tightly rolled position. Your baby carrier should be facing outward. Take the waist strap, and tie it around your baby carrier roll. Now buckle it. You’re good to go. You can no longer dangle straps all over your body. Huzzah!
Perhaps the best tip is:
Locate a local babywearing group. Joining a local babywearing group will allow you to meet like-minded parents and learn from knowledgeable instructors. You’ll also have the opportunity to test different brands and types of baby carriers. This is crucial in finding your perfect babywearing match.
