Babywearing may be new to some and safety is always important. Here are the ABCs from BWI that are helpful to practice safe babywearing.
Airway
Make sure baby's airway stays open by keeping chin off chest and allow fresh air to circulate around baby's face. Keep child high enough to kiss at all times, with the face visible.
Body Positioning
It is also important that your carrier provide adequate support for your infant’s developing neck and back. Ideally baby should be held with his knees higher than his bottom with legs in a spread squat position and support from knee to knee. Although with older babies and toddlers, full knee to knee support is not always possible or necessary.
Comfort
The carrier should be comfortable for you and baby. If you do not feel comfortable and confident with the carry you are doing, have a spotter nearby to help you.
- Avoid wearing metal rings or metal buckles on your carrier while walking through security. This way you won't need to take it off and can have your hands free while carrying your child.
- Expect to have your hands swabbed to test for explosive materials. It's a simple and quick test that takes all of ten extra seconds.
- Due to FAA regulations and safety, you'll need to take the baby out of the carrier during take off and then again at landing.
Happy Babywearing!
