Note: In the photos below I am already 5 months pregnant and my Vasilis (15 kilos) is too big for the upright position with legs in! I am using a special model-doll!<\/p>\n

This position is suitable for babies from the very first day after their birth.<\/p>\n

Be careful to follow the instructions while continuously supporting the newborn baby’s little head. When your baby manages to support their head on their own and will no longer fit in this position, you can use the “seated” position.<\/p>\n

1. Put on your pouch and make sure the pocket opens upward and the seam is in front of you.<\/p>\n

2. Take your baby in your arms and hold them on your shoulder, above the seam of the pouch, just as you would to burp them.<\/p>\n

3. Before placing your baby in the pouch, you can if you wish “fold” their little legs like a little frog (or let them fold them on their own once you put them inside).<\/p>\n

4. Lower them slowly into the pouch, making sure they go inside the “pocket”.<\/p>\n

5. As you “lower” your baby, grab the outer side of the pouch with your hand and pull it slightly upward. The seam will be on their back (parallel to their spine).<\/p>\n

6. Then, again pulling the outer side of the pouch with your hand, you will rest their little head inside the pouch (in the pocket, but close to your shoulder) so that it is supported.<\/p>\n

7. Your baby is now in the correct position, their little tummy will rest against yours (or your chest) and their little head will be supported by the shoulder of the pouch.<\/p>\n

** This position is suitable for babies with colic or reflux, as it allows them to be in an upright position. If you feel the baby should be closer to you, try the “trick: turning the shoulder”!<\/p>\n

Note: All the new research shows how supportive the upright position with legs out is for the development of the baby’s hips, from the very first day. Even though, if you have positioned your baby correctly, they are essentially sitting in the same position in both cases, take a look at this position too, especially if your pediatrician has instructed you to put two diapers on the baby to keep the little legs open, as is desired.<\/p>\n
