Is my baby able to breathe ? 'This means that you can see baby's face, their airways are clear of any obstructions, their chin is off their chest, and they are not slumped in the carrier,' says Grint. But there are steps that carers who carry can take to ensure the health and safety of babies’ hips. The IHDI recommends carrying with your baby’s hips in a natural position during the first six months of life, with their hips bent a little more than a right angle and spread so each hip is spread 40 to-60 degrees. Essentially in an 'M-position'.

Find the correct position. Safety experts recommend that the baby is facing the parents in a carrier from newborn to six months. When your baby can hold their head up, they can then be moved to the forward-facing position. Prices can vary so shop around and don't be afraid to ask your parent friends for advice or hand-me-downs. 'You don't necessarily need to go for the well known, celebrity endorsed brand to get a great sling!' says Ruth. Longevity The baby carrier mini has its own “Slow down, snuggle up” advertising campaign. Karin Hoxter, art director of BabyBjörn Sweden explains: So how do you choose the best baby carrier? They are available from newborn up to about four years old, so learning what works for you also depends on the age and temperament of your child (some tots are wrigglier than others!) and what feels most comfortable for both of you.But the more I read about baby carriers the more I discover that everyone has something to say about fit – and it makes sense. It’s hard to design one carrier to fit all shapes and sizes because we all have different torso lengths, boob sizes and more. Plus, some mums want breastfeeding access, some do not (for note, this carrier makes it impossible to feed as there is mesh in the way). The leopard print baby carriers come in an amazing selection of styles, so we know there’s one you’ll love! Most babies are born with hip dysplasia but over the years mothers and paediatricians have put the blame of hip problems on carrier companies. A call with BabyBjörn refutes this and their brand rep assures me that all their products are hip healthy. Read the instructions. Each sling is different. Always thoroughly read the instructions before using a baby carrier.

Another thing to consider is baby comfort. It’s easy to adjust the seat width and head support as your little one grows, which means you can easily customise the carrier to what your baby needs that day. My little one goes up a clothing size seemingly overnight so I welcome the ease at which I can widen the base of the seat and loosen the head support. Do baby carriers hurt baby hips? The leopard prints usually come in 2 colourways - white or neutral tones with leopard spots or darker, charcoal tones with leopard spots. That said, if you plan to carry your baby around a lot, invest in one you really like. 'You are so much more likely to use it, and be able enjoy all the benefits, if you love it!' says Ruth. 'There is no one best sling, but lots of different options that can work.'Let's face it, leopard print baby carriers are hugely popular right now. They are one of the hottest babywearing trends we’ve ever seen, and with good reason! The soft-touch, flexible 3D jersey is super soft and made of 80 per cent polyester, 16 per cent cotton, 4 per cent elastane, while the shoulder straps are made of 100 per cent cotton. This is the snuggly and sturdy option, ideal for skin to skin wearing around the house and cosy trips out. Need a helping hand?

All are machine washable at 40 degrees, but should not be tumble dried. They all comply with the requirements of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class one for baby products. Each option is child-friendly and safe to taste (as babies do). The material is so safe it doesn’t even need to be washed before its first wear. Are you going to be sharing baby-wearing duties with a partner? Then look for something that works for both caregivers. A dinky little sling might be a tight fit for Dad and not all caregivers will be as passionate about leopard print and tassels as you are. Style They’re a brand mindful of the huge task of all their products: to hold the most precious beings in the world – your newborns and toddlers. From concept to completion, BabyBjörn’s unwavering focus on delivering the best means that every product is long-lasting, high-quality and developed with safety, comfort and ergonomics in mind. Kind to baby’s skin Do you want a sling that will last for years, or something that works amazingly in the first six months before graduating to one better suited to older tots? 'Be aware that carrier manufacturers can be optimistic with how long their products will last — it's highly unlikely a sling suitable for a newborn will last until your child turns four.' says Ruth. Co-parentingBaby-wearing comes with a number of proven benefits for the parents as well as the precious cargo. 'For babies, it gives them a safe, secure and comfortable way of staying close to their caregiver, especially in the early days,' says baby-wearing consultant Ruth Grint. 'It can help their digestion, regulates their heart rate and temperature, and can reduce crying. Carried babies are talked to more, and this is thought to improve communication.' For other adults involved in the baby's care, using a carrier also gives them a great opportunity to bond. 'It can reduce the chance of postnatal depression increasingly recognised in men and partners,' says Ruth. 'It also helps to share the load of parenting and to get out and about!'
