It would be a suffocation/positional asphyxiation risk. As long as that fabric is at the base of the neck and snug, they will be properly supported though and it's easier than compared to a front carry as we gently lean forward as humans, keeping their head secured against our body!
@@letstalkbabywearing it honestly seems like they just don't like it. I've got a 15 month and a 2 month old. After about 5 maybe 10 minutes both of em just squirmy like they're uncomfortable. The older one would really start crying like he hated it. Now he's so big with the ultimate thighs of thunder he just hardly fits any carrier, 29 lbs already. The new baby just doesn't seem to like it either. He's fine when everything's all loose and not safe. Then when he gets tightened in he just starts squirming and throwing his head around. I have big mirror by the table so I can them and everything I got going on really well, I have no idea what it is. I have a stretchy wrap and a harness carrier I tried with both.
@@kelsey7731 Idk if that helps, but try to think about it not like you're putting them ”into" a carrier (like you would put them into a stroller or crib) but rather that you have an extension to your body, that allows you to wrap them to you and carry them hands free. What would you normally do if they cry? Pbl the first thing would be to pick them, carry, walk in your regular tempo, rock them to sleep etc. Just do the same with the wrap. You also ppbly wouldnt feel stressed or unsecure while carrying them using your hands or try to reach a perfect position. Its same with a wrap, just do it playfully, without forcing or stressing, babies feel it. Let,s say you've put your baby into a wrap and now they're wriggling, trying to stretch their legs, loosen the wrap etc. Just let them do that, walk here and there, breastfeed, sing to them while still holding them inside the wrap, they will allow you to put them back into the right position once they feel calm and secure. Then there might be some reasons that don't actually have to do with the wrap itself. Are they hungry or uncomfortable? Wrapping a baby who is not in their best mood and istn used to the wrap isnt going to work. Are the clothes ok? Is there a button, that disturbs the baby? If the baby is wearing tights or pants they should be of a bigger size, bc once babys legs are in the M-position the fabric stretches and it could get really uncomfortable for the legs, feets and especially toes if there's not enough space.
@@kelsey7731 It could be so many things including tension in baby (muscle tension is pretty common and can be a contributing factor in their comfort) or carrier type/fit. Do you happen to be involved in any baby wearing groups? Sometimes posting a picture can be really helpful even if you feel like you've got a really good fit. It could be a simple adjustment that makes a big difference. I don't know what buckle carrier you have, but there is such a wide range and some are going to support baby significantly better than others, and sometimes babies are just sensitive to certain fabrics! With a stretchy wrap, ensuring that their head is not under the fabric in any way is really important when they are struggling in the carrier. In general, putting their head under the fabric to secure it isn't always the best idea, but it also activates a reflex that causes baby to force their head backwards and can be incredibly frustrating for them. It's one of those things that you see on social media all of the time, but isn't necessarily the best for baby. not to say it can't be a useful tool here and there, but shouldn't be used exclusively and especially not if a baby is sensitive to it!
Love this so much, my infant was this little a month ago, didn’t know this was possible. So precious, and cheeks for sure!! ❤
Level: Expert 🏆🙌
Amazing video! She is getting cheeks❤ thanks for all you share with us. I'm always so impressed
Thank you 😊 I definitely see them- even more now a few weeks later!!
thank you for sharing! does baby need any additional neck support or would that possible create an asphyxiation hazard? thanks!

@@letstalkbabywearing thank you!!!!
Thank you so much!
My heart 🥰😍
I've tried baby wearing so many times and I just can't get it 💔😭
I'm so sorry that's been your experience 😞❤
Is there anything specific you're really struggling with- or maybe baby is?
