The Baby K'tan BREEZE Baby Carriers are made of 100% cotton - with jersey knit cotton on one half of the loops and a unique cotton-mesh on the other half of the loops. This cotton-mesh construction allows for added airflow. This is a great option for people who want a more breathable carrier with a natural fabric. Take the other loop and place baby’s other leg in it. The baby’s legs should be in a well-supported, ergonomic M-shape. He is plenty supported right now, but we are going to add an extra layer of support. Make sure the K’tan is in good condition and that all the seams are intact. If you notice any rips or tears, replace the K’tan immediately. Thanks to the 9 months that baby has spent inside your womb, he or she will recognize your smell and voice and be comforted not only by your touch but also your heart beat – a sound it has gotten used to while in-utero when he or she is on your chest. If you find that the other types of wraps are just too much for you, or you find them too hard to get secure, this may be a great option.
