When you start babywearing, every one of you will sooner or later hear strange questions \u2014 either from passersby or even from close family members. These questions may open a Pandora\u2019s box of doubts inside you. Am I doing the right thing? Could I be harming my baby?<\/p>\n

When carrying your baby in a wrap or carrier, there are two key rules: keep the baby\u2019s head turned to the side and the nose visible. This way, their airways remain clear and there\u2019s no risk of suffocation.
If your baby buries their face into your chest, gently lean forward and turn their head so that their cheek rests against your chest. If they keep returning to the buried position, check their breathing often and keep gently adjusting their head \u2014 in our experience, most babies gradually accept this position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A newborn\u2019s spine naturally forms a C-shape (kyphosis). It gradually develops into the S-shape over the first year of life:<\/p>\n
