Wearing your baby shouldn't wear you out. Whether you’re babywearing for five minutes or five hours, this episode is your go-to guide for choosing and using a baby carrier that supports both you and your little one.
In this episode I dive into everything you need to know—from types of carriers to ergonomic tips—so you can move through your day without backaches, shoulder pain, or frustration. After baby #3 became a full-time sidekick, Ilearned the hard way that not all carriers are created equal. Now, I’m sharing my experience so you don’t have to make the same mistakes.
From quick ring slings to rugged hiking packs, we’ll explore what works, what doesn’t, and how to set up your carrier for safety, comfort, and sanity-saving convenience.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The 7 main types of baby carriers (and when to use each)
- How to choose the right carrier based on your baby’s age, size, and needs
- Key ergonomic features to look for—for you and baby
- Tips for safe babywearing to avoid airway obstruction or hip concerns
- Common setup mistakes and how to fix them
- Why your comfort matters and how to support your back, shoulders, and hips
