A must-have for living with a baby! You need to know [Introduction to baby carriers for pre-mature moms]

Baby carriers are essential for living with babies. There are many different types, and many people probably wonder what to choose. We will introduce all the main points to check when purchasing, as well as recommended baby carriers that suit your needs, when to start and how long they can be used.

What do you check when choosing a baby carrier?

Search online or go to baby goods sections in specialty stores or shopping malls and you'll find an incredible variety of baby carriers. It has a variety of appearances and functions, from simple fabric items to well-made multi-functional carriers.

There are probably many pre-mature mothers (dads) who are at a loss as they don't know which one to choose.
You use it every day, and some products are expensive, so you should be careful.

There are a few things to check when choosing a baby carrier.
The points that are important to each person may differ, but you should definitely check the ease of putting on and taking off, stability and safety, functionality, and the burden on mothers and fathers' shoulders and waists. Take a good look and find the one that you can use the most comfortably.

What kind of baby carrier do you recommend?

The fabric carrier, which is typical of slings, has a simple structure, and can be worn simply by hanging it over the shoulder, making it easy to put on and take off. It's cheap and easy to use, but since the baby is not fixed, you need to be careful about safety, such as preventing it from falling.

A baby carrier with only the shoulder strap can be easily attached and removed, just like holding a backpack in front of you. It completely covers the baby's body, so it is very close to the baby, and is safe and secure, with no need to worry about it falling, but it seems that it can be heavy on the shoulders, which often leads to shoulder and back pain.
It's relatively inexpensive, so it's good if you want to keep costs down or use it as a sub-purpose. Recommended for moms and dads who only want to use baby carriers as infants when they are lighter.

The type with a waist belt also distributes weight between the shoulders and waist, making it much easier to hold. As the child grows, the burden on mothers and fathers increases proportionally with the weight of the child, so we recommend the waist belt type for those who want to use it for a long time.
The structure is solid, so it is extremely stable. On the other hand, it is common for a buckle (clasp) to be located on the back, and it takes a little effort to put on and take off. Some people may find it difficult to get used to it.

In addition to being face-to-face, the type that can be used for carrying forwards or carrying on a child is called a multi-functional carrier. There are also products that can be used by reassembled parts, and for example, if you can use only the hip seat alone, it can be used as a side or a small hug that simply places your butt on it. It can be used in a variety of ways, so it is recommended for those who want to just buy one item without buying multiple items for holding.

When can you use a baby carrier?

Although it varies depending on the manufacturer and product, most carriers are targeted at around 4 months of age, which is a guideline for neck-straightening. When holding the baby vertically before sitting on your neck, you should either support the baby's head by placing your hand on it, or use a baby carrier that provides solid support around the neck.

There are also baby carriers available for use before you sit on your neck, specifically for carrying your sides. The hip seat can also be used to support the sideways, and if you support the neck and head firmly, it can be used for breastfeeding and to put it to bed from the newborn stage.

When your hips are around 7 months old, you will see an increase in the variety of ways you can hold them, such as carrying them on your back or holding them forward.

Timing and reasons for graduating from baby carrier

When I talk to senior moms and dads, the majority are around 1-2 years old. The main reason is that weight is heavy when you weigh around 10kg. Also, once a child starts walking, he starts walking and holding them himself, and it becomes a hassle to put on and take them off, which can also be a good opportunity to think about graduating from a baby carrier.

How long did you use the baby carrier?

Children may also feel uncomfortable with baby carriers because they are restricted in movement and may feel uncomfortable sweat and stuffiness.

We recommend a hip seat carrier that can be used even after one year old!

Hip seat carriers are less likely to feel the weight of the product than regular carriers, and the moderate adhesion reduces problems such as stuffiness, making them easy to use for a long time.
Also, if you use the hip seat alone, it can be easily handled even if you have to hold it down more frequently, so if you remove the parts for carrying it and choose a type of product that can be used in various patterns, you won't have to buy a new one or more, which is ultimately cost-effective and convenient.

The official BABY & Me online store introduces hip seat carriers that can be used for a long time and comfortably, from newborns to baby carrier graduation.
