Wilkinet baby carrier
instructions for use
Welcome to baby wearing with a Wilkinet baby carrier.
You and your baby will enjoy the benefits of the comfortable and supportive close contact and genuine
hands free carrying.
Getting started...
Make sure you take your time and try each position with a cushion or doll first – it will increase your
confidence and ability when attaching your baby. This in turn will make your baby feel more calm and
content – improving the experience for both of you.
You can begin to use the Wilkinet as soon as you are up and about after the birth of your baby. If you
have had a Caesarean section or have any other health concerns ask your midwife or health visitor for
advice before use.
carrying positions
Ages and weights are a guideline only. Depending on your own and your baby's size and weight you may
carry in each position for more or less than suggested. For hip and back carrying your baby must be able
to hold his or her head up before using this position.

Bring to the front and tie over baby’s lower back/bottom. 12. Tuck the ties behind your back. Tiny newborns will be “surrounded” by the Wilkinet and held snugly in place. Larger babies usually like room to move. Tuck baby’s lower half into your waist with upper half slightly tilted away giving baby room to move and look around.
