Born to Carry - by Tania

Is your neck aching after every carry? 😬

Part 2 of "What the instruction manual doesn't tell you".

Because if your back strap is sitting too high, it's going to be pressing into your neck or upper back, and that dull ache you feel after a carry? That's probably why. 😩

Too low, and suddenly your shoulder straps feel like they're about to slide right off. 😬

The sweet spot? Armpit level. 🙌✨

One tiny tweak to that horizontal strap and the whole carrier feels completely different on your body.
Tell me, did you even know this strap could be adjusted? Drop it in the comments! 👇

Is your waistband doing THIS? 👀

Part 1 of "What the instruction manual doesn't tell you".

Because if it's tilting forward, your back is doing all the hard work instead of your hips, and THAT'S exactly why babywearing can feel so exhausting! 😩

One tiny adjustment = a completely different feel. 🙌✨

Pain when babywearing? This might be why 🤍

If your carrier has an X-back configuration, where the straps cross over your back, a small adjustment can make a big difference to your comfort.

Before clipping in, try pulling each shoulder strap straight down your back first, then bring it across to clip.

Where those straps meet matters too. The junction should sit between your shoulder blades (or even a little lower), not up near your neck.

This helps take the pressure off your neck and keeps the weight where it should be, across your back.

Sometimes it’s not the carrier… it’s just the setup.

Save this for your next carry and see how it feels ✨

This week for Babywearing Week Down Under, Cloth & Carry and Born to Carry teamed up to create a series explaining T.I.C.K.S.

Five short videos. Five simple reminders that make babywearing safer.

Save this as a quick reminder when you need to carry your baby.

This reel is a little summary of the whole series.
👆You can tap each clip to go straight to the full reel of that T.I.C.K.S step.

One of the reels in the series has already reached over 64,000 views, which means safe babywearing information is reaching so many families 😍.

If you're new to babywearing, these videos are a great place to start. And if you’ve been carrying for a while, they’re a helpful little refresh too.

Babywearing should feel comfortable, safe, and confidence building, not confusing.

Thank you to everyone who watched, shared, and supported this series 🤍

A beautiful morning with the wonderful mums and babies from the Movers & Growers Mothers Group at The Motherhood Centre 🤍

We spent the morning together on a picnic rug in the sunshine chatting all things babywearing. From learning the T.I.C.K.S. safety guidelines, exploring different types of carriers, to some parents even trying back carrying for the first time.

Babywearing is more than just a carrier. It’s connection, confidence, and community. It was so special to share this space with parents supporting each other, asking questions, and discovering how babywearing can make everyday life a little easier.

Thank you to The Motherhood Centre for welcoming Born to Carry into such a beautiful group of families.

If you're curious about babywearing, need help with your carrier, or want to learn how to carry safely and comfortably, I’d love to support you.

Babywearing Meet & Free Photoshoot

What a beautiful morning spent together at Lilian Fraser Garden in Pennant Hills.

Families came together for a relaxed babywearing meet where we shared knowledge, stories, and support. Throughout the morning we explored different carriers, got fit checks, learned how to breastfeed in the carrier, tried woven wraps, and succeeded in back carrying.

But more than anything, it was about community.
A chance for likeminded parents to connect, chat about the ups and downs of parenthood, and share the load together.

The weather was perfect, the little ones had the best time running around the gardens, and it was so special capturing these moments during our free photoshoot for attending families.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made the morning so special. Thank you to for capturing these precious moments for us. We can't wait for the photos to be release 🤞.

Babywearing truly is about connection, not just with your baby, but with the community around you.
