Helpful Hints
Newborn babies with colic, gas, or acid reflux prefer being carried in an upright position versus a position like the Cradle Hold.
“Kangaroo Care” is skin-to-skin babywearing, where the baby and the baby-wearer’s skin are in direct contact for 2-3 hours a day. Skinto- skin contact has been found useful in promoting growth in low birth weight babies.
The vibration of a man’s Adam’s apple can be soothing to an upset baby. Try having Dad or Grandpa hold the baby in this position and walk around humming or singing to soothe a crying infant.
Babies will cue you when they are ready to be out of this position by starting to stretch their legs. At this point, you may put baby’s legs through the fabric as instructed in the Hug Hold, or try the Cradle Hold.
