Baby Wearing Safety Check 
T.I.C.K.S

TIGHT –
slings and carriers should be tight enough to hug your baby close to you as this will be most comfortable for you both. Any slack/loose fabric will allow your baby to slump down in the carrier which can hinder their breathing and pull on your back.

IN VIEW AT ALL TIMES –
you should always be able to see your baby’s face by simply glancing down. The fabric of a sling or carrier should not close around them so you have to open it to check on them. In a cradle position your baby should face upwards not be turned in towards your body.

CLOSE ENOUGH TO KISS –
your baby’s head should be as close to your chin as is comfortable. By tipping your head forward you should be able to kiss your baby on the head or forehead.

KEEP CHIN OFF THE CHEST –
a baby should never be curled so their chin is forced onto their chest as this can restrict their breathing. Ensure there is always a space of at least a finger width under your baby’s chin.

SUPPORTED BACK –
in an upright carry a baby should be held comfortably close to the wearer so their back is supported in its natural position and their tummy and chest are against you. If a sling is too loose they can slump which can partially close their airway. (This can be tested by placing a hand on your baby’s back and pressing gently - they should not uncurl or move closer to you.) A baby in a cradle carry in a pouch or ring sling should be positioned carefully with their bottom in the deepest part so the sling does not fold them in half pressing their chin to their chest.

Carry Position

Upright Carry: Make sure that the baby's knee is higher than the baby's bottum

Side Carry: Make sure that the baby's head is higher than their legs 

Sling position 

  • The gathered portion should be placed on the wearer's shoulders. This will allow the child's bottom to slip into the widest part of the fabric, increasing the safety and stability of the carrier.
  • Make sure that the child's back and hips are in a secure position in the sling.
  • In the cradle position (sideways carrying) of a newborn, be careful not to curl the child up so that his or her chin is attached to the chest.
  • Make sure that the child's face is not close to the wearer.
  • When carrying the child, the child should be in a position where the wearer can kiss the child's forehead.
  • A support belt is essential for forward-facing carrying.
  • Forward-facing swaddling should not be used for long periods of time to avoid stiffening of the hip joints. Also, a sleeping baby should always be turned back to the wearer. If the baby sleeps facing forward, the breathing opening may be blocked and suffocation may occur.
  • The use of a support belt increases stability and safety.

Please do not hold baby in the following position 

1. Baby's face is on the wearers chest 

2. Baby is too low / You can't see the baby's face 

3. Baby's face is buried in the sling
