There is a universal truth that all parents can attest to once they bring their bundle of joy home. And it’s the sudden avalanche of baby supplies that creep into every corner of your home. In the kitchen, the clutter tends to be bottle parts, pumping supplies, plastic dinnerware, and pacifiers.
Soft baby wraps such as Boba, Moby wraps, or even slings can be completely tied and adjusted before you attempt to put the baby inside, which frees up your hands for a safe transfer. Not to mention the fact that they’re much easier to tuck your sleeping baby into and maneuver around the house as they rest.
The short answer is, YES! Of course, then can. However, newborns should be worn with extra care and attention, as their neck strength isn’t developed yet. There are real (and completely avoidable) dangers that newborns can face while in a baby carrier.
When you think of making a DIY baby sling, blankets, scarves, and even tablecloths come to mind. However, have you ever considered using one of your t-shirts? It’s not as crazy as it sounds when you consider most soft baby wraps are made from stretchy cotton or bamboo fabric.

Before there were baby carriers with all the bells and whistles that you could pick up from Target or order from Amazon, women used linen or cotton. Sometimes these pieces of fabric were specially made to be used as baby wraps. Other times, they were made from sheets or whatever scraps they could find.
At some point, usually around 6 months, you’ll have the option to carry a baby forward (or facing out) in the carrier. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this position?
