Excellent support to carry your baby from newborn to toddler The Wilkinet Cotton Twill gently cocoons a newborn baby, yet is strong enough to carry a chunky toddler. It is extremely versatile, the newborn can be snuggled up against your body, the three month + baby can face outwards, and the heavier or older baby can be worn on your hip or back. Excellent support is provided for your baby as their weight is carried on the thighs and buttocks instead of the perineum. Also designed to meet your comfort needs, the shoulder straps stop the baby falling forward and all the weight is transferred directly to the pelvis, while providing the waist straps are fitted low enough. It also acts as a sacro-iliac belt, helping to stabilise the sacro-iliac joints (especially important for a nursing mother whose ligaments will tend to be lax).
