    Here are all the tricks for carrying your baby correctly in the carrier

    Carrying your baby in a baby carrier is not only practical, but also a great opportunity to create a close bond between you and your little one. Here's a guide on how to best use a baby carrier for both you and your baby.

    Choose the right baby carrier

    Before you start, make sure you have a baby carrier that suits both you and your baby. There are different types of baby carriers with different carrying styles, so find the one that suits you best. The easiest way to do this is to read up on the ergonomics, style and comfort of the different carriers and then decide what you think will suit you best.

    Tip. Make sure the baby carrier is adjustable to ensure maximum comfort regardless of the baby's size.

    Adapting the baby carrier to the child's age

    Each baby carrier has different settings depending on the age and size of the child. For newborns, care should be taken to ensure that the head is properly supported, while older children need the option of having their legs hanging or sitting, depending on the model.

    A pleasant experience for both

    Make sure your baby's back and neck are well supported. Position the carrier so that your baby's weight is evenly distributed across your body to avoid overloading your back and shoulders.

    Is the harness correctly fitted?

    While you are using your baby carrier, you should make sure that it is securely and correctly fitted. Check straps and buckles to avoid unexpected events and always use your baby carrier according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Flexibility!

    Many models of baby carriers allow different carrying positions, such as forward facing or rear facing. Make sure to vary the carrying positions to avoid overloading a specific part of your body, and to meet the needs of your child at different ages. If you carry your baby in the same way for several hours a day, there is a risk of overloading one part of your body, which will cause problems. Vary your carrying!

    Strengthen your body to cope

    Carrying a baby takes a lot of physical strength, and it gets harder as the baby gets older. If you can, it's a good idea to strengthen your body with light exercise regularly, so that you can carry. You will be doing it for a long time to come!

    Carrying your baby in a baby carrier is a cozy and intimate experience that benefits both you and your baby. Many babies thrive in the carrier and can spend many hours skin-to-skin. So make sure to invest in an ergonomic baby carrier for both you and your baby! And remember to think about *how* you're carrying, and that you're strengthening your body properly so that you can cope as your baby grows.
