1. First time for you and your baby in a carrier can be quite a challenge. Why don’t you practice with a teddy
bear or a doll beforehand and show what the carrier is for? Let your baby get familiar with the carrier, touch it and play with it before wearing it.
Remain calm. During the first tries distract your baby: give them a ‘forbidden’ thing (like a remote or keys), keep swaying
side to side during putting the carrier on, make a funny face in the mirror, try to entertain your baby or ask someone else to help you. After putting the carrier on
go outside quickly (it can be another room or a balcony) and show your little one something interesting there.
