What are the advantages of using baby carriers and wraps?

Using a baby wrap or carrier can have a number of advantages, chief among them is keeping your baby wrapped in a way to help them feel safe and secure. Baby wraps increase the amount of skin-to-skin contact you share with your baby and their time spent close to your chest feeling you breathe and your heart beat. Nursing slings or baby carriers for newborns can make some things easier, such as breastfeeding, or can free up your hands for other things while they slumber next to you.

What is the difference between a baby carrier and a wrap?

Both baby carriers and wraps are baby accessories designed to help you carry your baby on your body and give you hands-free mobility. The difference between a carrier and a wrap is in the philosophy behind the design, although they both are meant to keep your baby close, safe, and comfortable. For the most part, baby carriers are more structured and padded, making use of buckles and straps you can adjust and tighten as needed for your baby to sit in the carrier either on your front or your back. Wraps are generally one long piece of fabric, meant to mimic a more natural position of the baby’s body, acting sort of like a hammock. The loose ends are secured by wrapping around your torso and tying or tucking. There’s a lot of configurations for baby wraps that allow you to hold the baby in back or front, but also on your hip, straight up, or they can lie down and sleep next to your chest.

Does it matter what you wear when you’re using a baby carrier or wrap?

When thinking about what you and your baby will wear each day, the chief concern is keeping the baby warm enough so they feel safe and comfortable, without overheating either of you. Check out these tips for how to wear baby carriers and wraps and maintain comfort in all types of weather: When temps are starting to warm but there’s still rain and cooler air, opt for a jersey cloth or other knit baby wrap sling with lightweight sweaters and pants, and keep a knit cap on your baby’s head. Hot weather can seem like a challenge with extra layers, but your favorite shorts and tank top go well with linen baby carrier wraps that let breezy air regulate both of your temps. When the air cools, dress your baby in fuzzy socks, long sleeves, and a knit cap in their baby swaddle wrap . Fluffy cardigans and scarves help you stay warm in autumn chill, and you can adjust them to encompass the baby if needed. There’s no need to bundle up your baby quite so much in cold weather when wearing a baby wrap carrier, since even on the coldest of days, they could overheat easily being right next to your chest. Big coats are often heavy enough to cover your baby safely as long as you make sure any exposed skin is covered.
