Check your baby’s position regularly. Your baby should be
centered in the carrier in a seated position with arms and legs
extended and not constricted by the carrier. It is extremely
important to avoid any slouching in baby’s position. A slouching
position can restrict baby’s airways.
Baby’s head should be upright or resting on your chest with
the face, nose, and mouth positioned to the left or right. Baby’s
chin should never rest on baby’s chest. This can result in
closing or partially closing baby’s airway.
