Refer to our size guide for precise instructions. If unsure, choose one size larger than usual, as it runs small.
Keep in mind that this shirt is different from a regular one—it’s heavily reinforced to support a baby weighing up to 9 kg. It might feel snug at first, but this reinforcement ensures comfort and even weight distribution. The central band stretches to accommodate the baby as they grow.
If the shoulder seams fit well, the central band isn’t loose, and it doesn’t compress your chest, you have the correct size.
Create a seat with the fabric under the baby’s bottom, rotating their hips to rest against you. Keep their head at "kiss height" for proper positioning, then adjust the lateral bands to maintain this position. Remember babywearing safety tips: keep the baby’s face visible and clear, their hips in the "M" position, and at kiss height.
The shirt is made of organic cotton, a breathable and soft fabric ideal for all seasons. However, skin-to-skin contact generates heat. To prevent overheating, place a folded bamboo muslin between your body and the baby. Avoid babywearing outdoors in high temperatures.
Avoid overdressing the baby under the shirt. Use an overcoat or babywearing cover to regulate temperature quickly and easily without disturbing the baby.
Dress the baby in comfortable, season-appropriate clothing. Avoid thick jackets and coats in winter, as they may interfere with adjustments. Opt for loose clothing and avoid tight-footed pajamas, which can restrict foot movement while babywearing.
Machine wash with cold water, avoiding fabric softeners and tumble dryers. Use a delicate cycle up to 30ºC.
