How do I learn to use the baby sling?
First of all try not to be impatient; after a short time you will manage the sling naturally. With only a few deft movements you will transform the specially woven cloth into a made to measure carrying aid which will always be the right size for you and your baby- it more or less grows with you. Each Joy and Joe baby® sling comes with detailed carrying instructions, demonstrating with both pictures and text step by step the different carrying methods.
What size should I take?
This is a hard question to answer! Our Baby Slings come in a variety of sizes. Any size can work for anyone, the main difference is the variety of carries you can utilize. If you are a smaller person, you may be able to do more carries than listed with a slightly smaller baby sling. If you are a larger person, you may require one size larger to do the carries you wish to do. You can do all of the shorter-wrap carries with a larger wrap, there will just be longer tail-ends left over. Also see our woven wrap sizing guide for more
Can I also use the baby sling in winter?
Yes, because the close body contact warms your child and you also are more aware when you child might become cold. When temperatures drop below freezing, use a carrying method that allows you to carry your baby under your coat. These are various methods when the child is carried in front of your stomach. If you want extra warmth, choose the Joy and Joe baby® sling made from cotton/wool.

For how long can I carry my baby in the sling?
Start slowly and take note how your baby feels. You will soon be aware how content your child is when you carry it. Use the sling whenever it helps you. Trust your own judgment and do whatever you feel is right and do not let others confuse you. When your child gradually learns to explore the world on its own two feet, the Joy and Joe baby® sling will still be useful for a long time as the “pram in the bag “, when the need arises. The “rucksack carry ” is the best method for carrying bigger children.
What does the term “Kangaroo Care” mean?
This is the term coined when a mother holds or wraps her premature baby skin to skin on her chest. Instead of constant care in an incubator more and more doctors are encouraging mothers to wear their tiny infants (such as in the Joy and Joe baby® Wrap). These babies thrive with access to food, warmth and the familiar environment of the womb.
Can I wear the Joy and Joe baby® Carrier through pregnancy?
Moms do safely wear their carriers with no problem through pregnancy-some up until the end. Yet, some complain that the belt places pressure on the bladder. It all boils down to personal preference. Ask your doctor or midwife and use your intuition. A wrap may be a better alternative as the fabric can be spread wide and is more flexible and soft.
Can baby face out in Joy and Joe baby® carriers?
No. There are more reasons for this recommendation. The first and most important is that front facing position might hurt the baby’s spine, and it is not good for hip development either. Secondly, babies gain knowledge about the world through their parents in the early years (they perceive their gestures, their heartbeat and their vibes), and so they need direct contact with the person who carries them. If we keep the baby in a front-facing position, it might be tiring for them, and what is more, they have no possibility to turn back and find protection on the breast of their parents
What comes with my baby carrier?
An informative instruction manual comes together with your carrier. It includes many pictures and explanations, tips & tricks. We also give a free carry-bag for all Joy and Joe baby® Carriers.

In most cases, yes. As long as your baby has good airflow, then some “squishiness” is okay. Babies should be very snug in the sling.

And, as you know, if your baby is uncomfortable, he or she will let you know right away! If your baby is in the sling, is not fussing, with their bottom at your belly button, and with good airflow, then they are not really squished, but are in the sling correctly. In fact, babies tend to love the swaddled sensation and close contact. As long as you adhere to the safety guidelines (check the user guide that accompanied your baby carrier)
My baby hates the sling. What can I do?
Get moving! The best thing to do is to be active. Go for a walk. Clean. Sing. Dance. Anything to get baby comfortable immediately so that he or she settles in. Other things to try: different carrying positions and/or building your own sling confidence. If you are nervous about using the sling, your baby will be too.
