Babies in the postpartum period benefit from the closeness carrying can bring. Of course we can snuggle up without a carrying aid to help us, but sometimes hands-free cuddles can be freeing and allow us to care for babies and ourselves effectively. As such, there is no minimum age to use a well fitted newborn suitable carrier, as long as your little one is inside the weight limit for the carrier you choose ♥️
