Is it ok to carry my 1 week old around in an Amy Coe sling and if so how long is too long?

He seems comfortable but I know being upright is harder on their lungs as small babies :)

Thanks ladies, I feel better now his head and neck are supported and he really likes it since he is a snuggly baby :)

Baby wearing is really beneficial to you and baby. Many women wear their babies till they are over a year and sometimes longer. I wouldn't worry about it unless your baby seems in distress or something.

Dr. Sears has great recommendations and help on baby wearing ... might be worth it to take a look into what he says.



My son I had him in a sling ALL the time, and as long as I was feeling good, and he was still breathing, nothing ever changed

as long as he's over 7lbs and his head is being supported.
