Frequently Asked Questions – babyseler.no

Yes, newborns can use a baby carrier – but it is important to choose the right type and use it correctly. Many carriers are suitable from about 3.5 kg, and some are specifically made for newborns. Always ensure that the baby is in the M-position (knees higher than the bottom) and that the head is supported. Check the TICKS rule for safe carrying.

For newborns, we recommend carriers with good head support and ergonomic M-position from the start. At babyseler.no, we carry LennyLamb and ISARA – two of the most recognized brands in Europe for this purpose. LennyLamb is suitable for those who want soft, colorful fabrics, while ISARA is known for easy adjustment and robust quality. Contact us, and we will help you find the right model for your child.

Yes, it is entirely possible, and many parents appreciate the closeness and calm it provides for newborns. Use a carrier that supports the entire spine and head. Avoid forward-facing carrying in the first months – backward-facing (towards you) is best for newborns. Always remember the TICKS rule.

Place the baby sitting with legs spread in the M-position – the knees should be higher than the bottom, not hanging straight down. The back should be slightly rounded, not completely straight. The chin should not rest against the chest. The head should be supported, and you should always be able to see the child's face. Feel free to watch instructional videos for the specific brand you are using.

Yes, with the right equipment. Always check the product page for the recommended minimum weight – most start at 3.5 kg. For premature or very small babies, advice from a health station is recommended before starting to carry.

To carry a newborn safely, place the child against your chest with their face towards you. Ensure that the back is supported in a slightly rounded position, the knees are higher than the bottom (M-position), and that you can always see the child's face. Tighten the carrier well so that the baby sits high and close – you should be able to kiss the top of their head. Always follow the TICKS rule for safe carrying.

Most carriers are suitable from birth (from about 3.5 kg), provided they have good support for the head and back. Wraps and structured carriers with newborn inserts are good choices from day one. The most important thing is that the baby sits ergonomically and that you can see their face at all times.

You can start as early as birth if the carrier is suitable for newborns. Many parents find that carrying helps with colic, sleep, and bonding in the first weeks. There is no "too early" – just make sure the product is appropriate for the child's weight and that you use it correctly.

From birth up to about 15–20 kg depending on the carrier. Most use a baby carrier actively from newborn until the child is about 1–2 years old. Some carriers support children up to 20 kg, so you can continue long after the child starts walking.

There is no strict time limit, but be aware of signs that the baby is uncomfortable. Newborns often sleep well in a carrier, but regularly check that the airways are clear and that the head is not falling forward. Many recommendations suggest a maximum of 1–2 hours at a time for the very youngest without taking a break.

It depends on the child's age and the ergonomics of the carrier. For newborns, shorter sessions with breaks are recommended. For older babies (from 4–6 months), carrying can last longer. Always listen to the baby – if it is restless or relaxing, it is a good indication of whether it is comfortable.

A baby carrier (side-hanging carrier or traditional mei tai) is usually suitable from about 4–6 months, when the baby has good neck control. Some models support newborns with the right adjustment. Always check the product page for recommended age and weight.

Size 56 in baby clothes usually fits newborns up to about 2–3 months, depending on the child's growth rate. Some large babies outgrow it earlier, while premature babies use it longer. Buying a few extra garments in sizes 56 and 62 is wise in the first months.

A 1-month-old baby begins to focus on faces (about 20–30 cm away), reacts to sounds, and can lift its head slightly when lying on its stomach. Social smiles and more active interaction usually come from 6–8 weeks. Remember that all babies develop at different rates.

A baby wrap is a long piece of fabric (usually 4–6 meters) that is wrapped around your body and the baby. It provides a snug fit and is ideal for newborns, but requires some practice to tie correctly.

A baby carrier (structured carrier) has fixed straps, a frame, and clips – easy to put on and take off, and usually fits two parents of different sizes. It is practical for everyday use and does not need to be tied.

Both are safe and ergonomic when used correctly. The choice depends on what fits your lifestyle.

A baby carrier provides the closest and softest contact for newborns, and many babies quickly calm down in a tightly wrapped carrier. Structured carriers with newborn inserts are easier to use correctly from the start and require less practice. Both work well – the most important thing is that you feel confident using them.

Yes! You can sit, stand, walk, and even bike with many carriers. Make sure the baby is still sitting ergonomically and that you are sitting with good back support. Avoid leaning too far forward when sitting with the baby in the carrier.

Yes, it is completely normal for babies to fall asleep in a carrier. Ensure that the head is supported and that the chin is not resting against the chest – this can block the airways. Check the baby regularly when they are sleeping in the carrier, especially newborns. The TICKS rule always applies, even during sleep.

Yes, carrying has many documented benefits: it promotes bonding, soothes colicky babies, supports motor development, and frees up your hands. Ergonomic carrying in the M-position is good for hips and back. Carrying is recommended by many health stations and pediatricians.

The risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is highest in the first three months of life and decreases significantly after 6 months. After 1 year, the risk is considered very low. To reduce the risk: place the baby on their back in their own sleeping environment without loose bedding, avoid smoke, and ensure the baby does not overheat. Carrying does not increase the risk of SIDS when the TICKS rule is followed.

A bedside crib (side sleeper or co-sleeper) is recommended to be used until the baby can sit up on their own or climb, usually around 5–6 months. It is safer to move to a regular crib at that point. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for weight and age for the specific model.

Ergobaby recommends using the newborn insert until the baby is about 5.5 kg and has good neck control – usually around 3–5 months. When the baby can sit steadily in the carrier without the head falling, you can remove the insert. Follow the instructions that come with the product.

Ergobaby carriers can be used from about 3.5 kg (with a newborn insert) up to 20 kg depending on the model. Omni 360 and Adapt are popular choices for newborns.
