Most baby carriers are suitable from birth, provided your baby meets the minimum weight requirement (typically 3.2kg or 7lbs). Always ensure your newborn can support their head adequately and maintain clear airways in the carrier position.

What age can I start using a baby carrier?

There's no strict time limit, but most experts recommend taking breaks every 2-3 hours for feeding, diaper changes, and to let baby stretch and move freely. Monitor your baby for signs of discomfort or restlessness.

How long can I keep my baby in a carrier?

Many carriers accommodate breastfeeding, particularly those with adjustable panels or easy-access designs. Practice at home first and ensure baby maintains proper positioning during and after feeding.

Can I breastfeed while wearing a baby carrier?

Front-facing in keeps baby against your chest, promoting bonding and allowing them to rest easily. Front-facing out lets curious babies observe their surroundings but should only be used once they have good head control (around 4-6 months).

What's the difference between front-facing in and front-facing out positions?

Your baby should sit high enough on your chest that you can easily kiss the top of their head. Their knees should be higher than their bottom in an M-shaped position, and you should be able to see their face clearly at all times.

How do I know if my baby carrier fits correctly?

Most carriers adjust to accommodate different body sizes, though some work better than others for significant size differences. Look for carriers with extended strap lengths and wide adjustment ranges if multiple caregivers will be using it.
