T.I.C.K.S. rules for safe babywearing
Always remember the T.I.C.K.S safety rule when carrying your baby in a sling:
Tight - Slings should be bandage tight for support.
In view at all times - especially the nose.
Close enough to kiss - if you can't kiss your baby's head he's too low.
Keep chin off the chest - keep those airways open.
Supported back - slings should go up to a newborn's neck at least.
