Baby Wearing Tips

Mei Tai baby wearing tips:

#1 Tie the straps behind the back of a younger baby for more support and under the bottom of a larger baby or toddler.

#2 Once the baby is in the carrier (before you tie the knots) hold the straps and do a little hop. This will help your baby sit down deeper into the carrier which helps mom and baby be more comfortable.

#3 You may find that the more snug and tight your baby is the more comfortable and secure you and your baby will be.

#4 Use a square knot when tying for more security.

#5 If you want your baby to ride higher on your back you can tie your waist strap above or right below your chest. This will help them ride high and see over your shoulder.

#6 You can wear your infant in a mei tai. Simply snuggle your baby to your chest and tuck his legs up "froggy" style. Tie the straps around the baby's back instead of under his bottom for more security and support.

#7 For the colder months, you can wrap a blanket around your child and then pull the mei tai up over the blanket and baby!
