Carrying your newborn

When your little one is born, you want to enjoy and recover together for a bit, and as soon as you are back on your feet, enjoy carrying.

We are often asked what is the most ideal baby carrier for a newborn baby. Of course it is a personal choice, what you find most comfortable carrying. We find the sling and the MyKay the most ideal from day one. Tying a sling is not as hard as it looks and after a few times of practice even very easy. It's just like riding a bike! The stretchy sling is even easier to tie than the woven sling as you can tie it completely before putting your baby in.

If you don't like tying such a long cloth, the MyKay is a solution. This pre-shaped half buckle baby carrier is attached to your back with a clip and tied off. Because you tie it horizontally under your arms, your baby is never too low in the carrier and there is perfect neck support. 

The disadvantage of a (stretchy) sling and a MyKay is that you cannot use them until toddler age. If you want to carry longer, a baby carrier or Meitai (or woven sling) is most ideal. Is your budget not so big or would you still like to carry with one baby carrier from day 1 to 3 years? Our baby carriers can be reduced in size with a small adjustment so you can carry from day one as well. Not every baby will be as perfect in these as in a sling or MyKay, but in general, with proper adjustment, baby can be carried from day 1 in our baby carriers.

Are you unsure if your baby is seated properly? Don't hesitate to take a video and have it reviewed by our babywearing consultants! Of course, you can also contact a babywearing consultant in your area. Should your baby just not fit well in the baby carrier, you can bridge a few weeks by renting a sling or MyKay from us until your little one is big enough for the baby carrier.

Enjoy wearing it!
