It\u2019s a technique that you must learn and there are rules to be followed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please <strong>read the instructions<\/strong> manual that came with your carrier. Also watch the videos either online, or on the DVD that you may have received with your carrier. They contain valuable information for using your carrier with safety.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Make sure that your baby\u2019s chin is about\u00a0 2,5 cm (1 inch) away from his\/her chest, and never let your baby curl too much towards his\/her tummy, so that the <strong>airway<\/strong> is open and the baby breathes regularly and effortlessly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Make sure that the fabric of the carrier covers your baby <strong>at least up to his or her knees<\/strong>. In seated position the knees should be at least at the same height or higher than his or her bottom, so that the baby sits comfortably in the carrier in a <strong>deep squat<\/strong> position. Letting your babies knees dangle lower than bottom height, it is only friction that keeps the baby on you and this is not safe.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_nwXDLK_e8_4\"><div id=\"lyte_nwXDLK_e8_4\" data-src=\"\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/nwXDLK_e8_4\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/nwXDLK_e8_4\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/nwXDLK_e8_4\/0.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"340\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:640px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Besides, carefully positioning your baby in your Asteraki sling, is not only a matter of safety, but also a matter of <strong>comfort for the baby<\/strong>.

Be extra careful when you use your carrier on your back, especially when turning in narrow places (like through a door).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check your carrier every time before using it, to make sure that it is in a good condition. If you find any damage, don\u2019t use it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don\u2019t use your carrier in a moving car (use a car seat instead), near open flame or sharp objects, while cooking, while doing sports or swimming, on a bicycle or bike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to become familiar with new carrying positions, try them out with a doll first and proceed with your baby when you feel confident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Babywearing is safe and wonderful when practiced correctly.
