Are wrap carriers safe?
The number one threat a wrap can pose, when not used properly, is suffocation. Your baby should not be curled in a way that her chin is against her chest – this can block her airways. The rule of thumb here is that there should always be at least a finger’s width of space underneath your baby’s chin.
How long can you use a wrap carrier?
Wraps can typically be used with newborns (as long as they meet the weight requirement) up until your child is 18 months old or so, although parents tend to get the most use out of them in the first several months.

When can you start using a baby wrap?
If your baby is born without any health complications and is around 8lbs, you may begin wearing a baby safely and securely in a wrap carrier. The “Newborn Hug Hold” position is a perfect way to begin babywearing with a newborn, because of the natural curvature of their body.
What is the best way to carry a newborn?
Always support your newborn’s head and neck. To pick up baby, slide one hand under baby’s head and neck and the other hand under their bottom. Bend your knees to protect your back. Once you’ve got a good hold, scoop up your baby and bring baby close to your chest as you straighten your legs again.
Can you forward face a baby in a Moby wrap?
