We really believe that babywearing is for everyone. Whether you’re a first-time parent or a parent of 3, using a baby carrier or sling can help you every day. Here’s just some of the things you may not have considered…
Skin to Skin
It’s been well documented that skin-to-skin contact between a mum and baby helps with bonding and breastfeeding. It is also a great way for dad and baby to bond in the first few weeks after birth. Holding baby gently cradled in a sling allows for a more gentle introduction from womb to the world.
Our Aura Baby Wrap is lightweight and breathable, allowing your baby to be held comfortably against your body, so you can both enjoy those first cuddles.

As a new parent, working out how to dress your baby for bed can be a struggle. Will they be too hot? Will they be too cold? And in our ever unpredictable UK weather, a warm night can turn cold. Here we’re going to look at the newborn sleepwear options available to help the newest member of your family sleep better - Because if baby sleeps better, you all sleep better!
Basic Bedding & Clothing
Whether it’s a moses basket, crib or cot, you will need a well-fitted sheet for the mattress and a waterproof cover to go underneath. This will keep your mattress in the best condition for your baby to sleep on.
Wherever your baby sleeps, it is advised that you always place your baby to sleep on his or her back.
While baby sleeps, the bed should be free of soft toys and loose blankets. Even the littlest babies can wriggle around more than you think and having these items in the bed can increase the risk of their face becoming covered.

There are so many different options, so many choices to make, seemingly endless styles to choose between – stretchy wrap, buckle carrier, soft or structured, parent-facing, world-facing, back carry, hip carry… Where do you even begin?!
For newborns, safety is key. The most important thing to consider is how to keep your baby’s airway clear, which comes down to how they are positioned and supported in the sling. The safest position for your newborn is to be upright, rather than reclined
