When done correctly, babywearing can be a safe bonding experience for you and your infant. It is important, however, to be well-versed in the safety tips surrounding each product to ensure a risk-free experience. You should always check your babywearing system for any signs of wear and tear beforehand. This would include pieces of fabric that have been worn to the point that they appear weak, and any loose stitching that can be found along the edges.

Key Takeaways:

• Babywearing is a popular activity to do with babies, but it is not as safe as people tend to assume.
• Babywearing should involve equipment that keeps the baby’s body in a position to keep them breathing and safe.
• The person wearing the baby should only do activities they feel safe and confident doing.

“Babywearing International recommends that infants only be held in a horizontal or cradle position while actively nursing (if desired) and return to an upright or vertical position as soon as they have finished.”
