Bonding
Babywearing with a wrap encourages closeness, trust and connection between the baby and their caregiver.

The feeling of being gently contained can give a newborn a sense of calm, protection and closeness.
Contact
Close contact lets you keep your baby near for longer while still enjoying greater freedom of movement.
Closeness
The supported position and contact with the caregiver’s body can help the baby relax when they need it most.

Carrying your baby lets you accompany them as they discover their surroundings while filtering some of the stimuli around them.

How to choose a baby wrap: key features to consider
Size
The size indicates the length of the woven wrap and is chosen according to the caregiver’s body type and the carries you want to use. The ring sling comes in one size.
Composition
The fibres used affect softness, breathability, support and the feel of the fabric. Common compositions include cotton and linen-cotton blends.
Fabric weight
Expressed in g/m², fabric weight helps describe the thickness and support of the fabric. A medium weight is generally a versatile choice.
