Baby Carriers for Newborn Buying Guide
Newborns like to be wrapped tight and held close, but carrying your baby around with you makes it hard to get
on with everyday tasks. A baby carrier will keep your baby close and maintain the comforting swaying motion they are accustomed to, so your baby will sleep calmly against your body.
There are two basic types of baby carrier: framed and frameless. Framed carriers tend to be slightly bigger and are more suited for a growing baby or small toddler, and are usually not appropriate for newborns. Frameless slings are perfect for newborns who love the womb-like snugness of being cradled close to your body. Carriers are often designed to be worn in front, on the hip, or as a convertible style that can be worn in either configuration.
Check the weight that
the baby carrier will support. Most smaller carriers will support babies up to 25 pounds, while the sturdier, larger types will work for babies up to 35 pounds. Your tiny newborn cannot support itself, but as he or she grows and begins to support their own weight, you will likely need to change carrier style to accommodate your baby's new range of motion.
