Generally, an upright, tummy-to-tummy position is recommended for carrying a newborn in a stretchy wrap. This is likely to be the easiest position to achieve safely and comfortably for both you and baby.
This video shows an alternative method for using a stretchy wrap - demonstrated with an Izmi Baby wraps and a newborn-sized demo doll. Izmi Baby wraps are available to purchase via my website (see below)
This position can be helpful if there are requirements for baby not to be in a tummy-to-tummy position; possible reasons include surgery to baby's stomach, if baby has severe reflux and finds tummy to tummy positions uncomfortable, or if parent is in a wheelchair.
Before carrying a baby with additional needs, please check with your Health Care Practitioner.
This method of using the Izmi Baby wrap is not in the Izmi Baby wrap instructions. If you're at all unsure about using the wrap in this way, please get in touch.
