Kangaroo Care

[santiago15]

Afternoon

I am not sure if this is the correct topic heading to post this so apologies if not. We are expecting late October and have purchased a Baby Bjorn One and Mother-care 3 position baby carrier, can these be used as a form of skin to skin/ Kangaroo care, looking at the pictures I would think not, if these cant any suggestions on good carriers/tops/Wraps to buy.

Thank-you in advance

You can pick up a stretchy wrap for around £15 online. There are tutorials on youtube on how to tie them. First couple of times will be a disaster but then it is easy!

I never put DS in the stretchy wrap naked though because he was (and still is) a sweaty little beast. I'd pop a vest on first.

Congratulations and good luck

I loved the NCT Caboo close. Very easy to get baby in. Re: skin to skin, its better to just have them cuddled onto your chest for this. My son never really liked being carried though.
