Because of the stretchiness of the fabric, the baby's position can be changed without retying the CuddlyWrap.

Multiple Positions

Detailed tying instructions are included in the packaging

Breastfeeding

One of the advantages of the CuddlyWrap™ is that it does not need to be taken off in order to breastfeed. The fabric can just be moved aside while nursing and once the baby is finished, the baby can go right back into the CuddlyWrap™.

Some mothers have also found that they can slip the fabric off the shoulder and arm on the side the baby will be nursing on, leaving the baby's lower body in the CuddlyWrap™ to be supported in the other side of the wrap.

Every mother/baby couple is unique and it will take experimenting to discover what works best for you and your baby. And experimenting over time. What hasn't worked easily at one stage of baby's development may work very well at another stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the CuddlyWrap™ support the baby’s spine?

The adult spine has four curves - neck (cervical spine), mid-back (thoracic), low back (lumbar) and base of the spine (sacrum). A newborn has only two curves in his spine: the mid-back and the base of the spine. The curve in the neck develops as the baby begins to lift his head and the neck muscles increase in strength. The curve in the lower back develops as the baby begins to crawl. Since the baby’s spine and hips are developing in the first year, it is important to protect the spine and hips from undue pressure or strain. Many of the conventional baby carriers in which the baby is positioned with the legs hanging down, place too much stress on the base of the spine – the position causes weight bearing before the baby’s spine is physically ready. The premature/newborn hold ensures that the baby’s neck, spine and hips are fully supported. Once the baby is ready for the classic cuddle hold (2-4 months), the CuddlyWrap™ holds the baby in closely against the adult body, supporting the whole length of the spine. The legs are supported in a position that contributes to their continuing hip development.

Does it take long to learn to use the CuddlyWrap™?

Each CuddlyWrap™ includes a DVD and a printed instruction manual in English, French and Spanish. Tying the CuddlyWrap™ becomes second nature very quickly. It also helps to use a mirror when you are first positioning your baby in the CuddlyWrap™ to ensure that the baby is positioned well and completely supported. Once you have tied and worn the CuddlyWrap™ with your baby a few times, you will know by your comfort if the wrap tie needs adjusting. For example, if you find your lower back feeling tired, you may need to tie the CuddlyWrap™ more snugly so that the baby is carried a little higher.

Why is the CuddlyWrap™ so long?

The CuddlyWrap™ has been designed so that it is possible for adults of all sizes to use it with comfort in all the various positions. It does not need any extra adjustments between adult users – each adult can tie the wrap to fit for them. The ends of the CuddlyWrap™ are tapered so that there is less bulk around the waist for smaller adults who may need to bring the ends around their waist a couple of times. The length of the wrap also makes it possible for most adults to use over heavier outerwear in colder weather

Does it matter how big the baby is? What are the age or weight restrictions?

There are no age or weight restrictions. The CuddlyWrap™ is completely ergonomic for both adult and baby or toddler, and there are no straps to adjust or sizing for adult or baby. The CuddlyWrap™ can be used as long as you and your baby/child are comfortable. The way the CuddlyWrap™ is tied evenly distributes the weight of your growing baby over your entire upper body without any stress points. Many have found that it is much easier to carry a heavy baby/toddler in the CuddlyWrap™ than to carry in arms only. We have experience carrying baby/toddlers over 30 lbs. and up to 3 years.
