Don&#8217;t forget that the baby in the carrier feels the warmth of your body and that the carrier&#8217;s fabric counts as a layer of clothing. If, on the other hand, it is very cold, watch the baby&#8217;s head and little feet, which are usually exposed and need extra covering.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>&#8220;Mum, when are we going to eat?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nBabies calm down in the carrier and it is very common for them to fall asleep in it.

Make sure you follow the instructions for each position correctly while carrying your baby, and check again that everything is fine once you are done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Only use the position that is suitable for your baby&#8217;s age each time, regardless of the type of sling you have.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The positioning of a newborn in particular must be done carefully (there must be at least a finger&#8217;s distance between the baby&#8217;s chin and chest, and full support of the head).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In every case you must make sure your baby is breathing freely and that its face is never completely covered by fabric.

It makes you feel comfortable, but never forget that you are carrying your baby!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Always remember that you are responsible for your baby&#8217;s safety and that you should be as careful as you would be with any carrier, or as careful as you would be if you were simply holding your baby in your arms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><strong>read more: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/asterakislings.blogspot.com\/2009\/05\/blog-post_07.html\">&#8220;Correct and incorrect positions with a baby carrier&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f7f9f8&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;42px||42px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#5f9989&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#5f9989&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||8px||false|false&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Will it be hard to learn?&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Will it be hard to learn?<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#5f9989&#8243; divider_weight=&#8221;3px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; width=&#8221;60px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||20px||false|false&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;\u039a\u03b5\u03af\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf: It&#8217;s easy!

Don&#8217;t be afraid &#8211; carrying your baby is simpler than it looks. Babywearing is a bit like learning to put on your shoes. When we were children, our parents taught us how to put our shoes on properly. To put the right shoe on the right foot, to wear them correctly, to tie our laces carefully so we would not trip. And now, putting on our shoes is something very simple! It is the same with babywearing: there are rules we need to follow in order to be safe, both us and our children, but with a little practice it turns out to be very easy!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><strong>read more:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/asterakislings.blogspot.com\/2008\/10\/blog-post_27.html\">&#8220;Babywearing is like learning to ride a bike&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;42px||42px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#5f9989&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#5f9989&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||8px||false|false&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Where can I find instructions?&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Where can I find instructions?<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#5f9989&#8243; divider_weight=&#8221;3px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; width=&#8221;60px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||20px||false|false&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;\u039a\u03b5\u03af\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf: For your Asteraki, apart from the instruct&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For your Asteraki, apart from the instructions it comes with and the videos you&#8217;ll find on the site, there are instructional videos, in Greek, that are hidden and locked; the only way to see them is to receive them from us.
