Safe Positioning of a Baby in a Sling or Carrier
- Ensure the baby is in an upright position (head up) so their airways are visible and unobstructed.
- Carry the baby at a height where you can easily kiss the top of their head.
- Make sure the baby’s back is properly supported, and the carrier fabric snugly wraps around them.
- The baby’s legs should be slightly spread and supported from one knee to the other.
- If the baby cannot hold their head up independently, provide proper head support.
- For more details, please refer to the user manual.
