Product Information

Remember that the best thing about the Baby K’tan is that you don’t have to adjust it, and the worst thing about it is that you can’t adjust it. Two people of different sizes (like Joshua and me) can’t share the same carrier. The Baby K’tan is two large loops of soft, stretchy fabric attached with a smaller loop, plus some carries require the included sash. This benefit popped up on a blog – Something I never really considered but that makes absolute sense. I will never forget when our second baby was about 3 weeks old, my 3-year-old daughter came and asked me “if we could please put the baby down so that I could play some ball outside with her.”

Carrying your baby around on your chest can help create that strong bond between baby and his or her caregiver. Your baby is exposed to your voice, smell, and constant touch and feels loved and safe when moving around with you. 4. Hands-free Baby Carrier As I said in my Moby review, I don’t think the Moby is all that hard to learn, but some people do get really frustrated with it, and some people are too intimidated to try it at all. When I’m wearing my Moby in public, a lot of people love it, but they ask if it “comes like that” or if I have to tie it like that, and I have to say that I have to tie it like that. The thing with the Baby K’tan is that it pretty much comes like that! Description Pillows can be a suffocation hazard for babies. If you’re using a K’tan, skip the pillows and just use a firm mattress. It benefits the mother (shrinks uterus faster, lowers risk of breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers, promotes weight loss, lowers risk of osteoporosis, protects against anemia and release for mother hormonally causing calmer feelings)The Baby K'tan Baby Carrier enhances and promotes successful breastfeeding, shielding your baby from outside distractions while nursing. It can allow for discreet nursing in public - use the wide fabric and extra loop to shield your nursing baby from public view - and hands-free nursing, enabling you to go about your day. I’m currently wearing an extra small and it fits great, but it will have to be upgraded at some point. Washing:The Baby K’tan is easy to wash, since it’s all cotton fabric. There are no creases to try to clean out or parts you can’t put in the washing machine. Unlike the Moby, parts of the Baby K’tan won’t be dragging the ground, so it will stay much cleaner. On the other hand, you may want to wash and dry it frequently to help it keep a snug fit.

Sizing is the most important aspect of getting a Baby K’tan. Be sure to read their sizing info here. For reference, I wear a size 20 or 22 so I got an XL. It’s a bit big, though, and I wish I’d gotten a Large. I have huge boobs, which may be what throws off my sizing. If I didn’t have 42G boobs, maybe I’d wear a 16 or 18 shirt/dress, which would put me in range of a Large Baby K’tan. You can wash your Baby K’tan to tighten it up a bit, but if it doesn’t fit well out of the box, return it for another size. When you put your baby in it, it should feel very snug, because the fabric is going to loosen up as you wear it. The looser it is, the harder it will be on your body to carry the weight and the less safe it becomes for your baby. Bottom Line If you’re using a sewing machine, sew along the long edges of the fabric, leaving a 3/8″ seam allowance. If you’re not using a sewing machine, you can simply serge or zigzag the edges to finish them.Speaking of different stages, the Baby K’tan Original Baby Carrier can be used on infants weighing 8lbs. – 35lbs (0 -36 months) which makes it a very durable baby carrier.

Language development: Can help boost early language development due to hearing words being spoken, observing facial expressions, and being part of the conversation. Baby K’tan also offers a range of different carriers to suit each and every parent’s individual needs: Baby K’tan Original, Baby K’tan PINK RIBBON that supports breast cancer awareness, Baby K’tan Active, Baby K’tan Breeze for very hot climates, Baby K’tan Organic, and Baby K’tan Print. Baby K’tan AlternativesOnce the KTan is in place, you can begin adjusting the position of your baby. The goal is to have them in a comfortable position that will allow them to sleep without interruption. You may need to experiment a bit to find the perfect position, but it will be worth it in the end. You can always wrap the material a few times around the baby but if it is very hot, it might cause both you and the baby to sweat. It’s also a little more challenging to put the wrap on due to the lengthy material.
