How do I decide my base size in woven wraps?
Welcoming a new baby into the world is a joyous occasion, but it also brings a host of new responsibilities and decisions. One decision is choosing the best baby carrier for your newborn. Whether you're a seasoned parent or embarking on this journey for the first time, the right baby carrier can make a significant difference in nurturing your little one while keeping your hands free for life's other demands.
In this blog, we'll explore some of the best baby carriers tailored specifically for newborns, ensuring both of you can embrace each moment with peace of mind and closeness of heart.
Babywearing and the fourth trimester
The fourth trimester refers to the first three months after birth, a period of continued development for your baby. During this time, your newborn can see but their vision is blurred; they can hear but cannot distinguish individual sounds, making the world an overwhelming place for them, often resulting in crying. Holding your little one and gently bouncing is a natural way to soothe them, and using a baby sling can achieve the same effect while saving your arms from strain.

Best Baby Wraps for Newborns
Papillons Flare is a beautiful choice for newborns sitting at 245gsm it is soft, breathable, and lovely to wrap with, especially if you are new to woven wraps. For beginners, we recommend choosing a medium to low GSM (250 or lower) as these slings are generally easier to work with, although this isn't essential.
Woven wraps are one of Oscha's top choices. They are the most versatile carriers you can choose and one of the best baby carriers for a newborn. By adjusting each millimeter of fabric, you can mold it around you and your baby, ensuring your little one is safe, comfortable, and secure in their natural newborn position. You can use these wraps right through to preschool age if you wish. We also recommend them for babies born prematurely or those with additional needs, such as low muscle tone.
Best Ring Slings for Newborns
Starry Night Ocean - This particular ring sling is an excellent choice for newborns. Woven with a finer version of our wetspun linen, it combines the strength associated with linen with the added benefits of being moldable, breathable, and soft. Exactly what you need for your little one.
Oscha ring slings make wonderful newborn carriers. A single layer of fabric that is easy to mold around your little one, secured at the shoulder with rings. They are lightweight, quick to put on, and can easily fit in your bag. You can make slight adjustments to create a perfect fit for your newborn.
If you are using a ring slings then a front carry should be used until around 4 months. When you naturally start to hold your baby on your hip.

Oscha Baby Cairis
Puffins Arisaig - The Baby Cairis is a semi-structured carrier with tie straps and many find it very simple to put on, yet it also gives a snug, supported feeling like a baby wrap. So it's a great choice if you want an easy learning curve. Puffins is one of our customer favourite and the navy blue backdrop means it goes with most things.
Unlike many carriers it does not have a stiff waistband, this allows the width to be cinched in to fit even very small babies. The carrier comes with a special accessory for this. As it's made from soft, wrap fabric, you can also roll the panel to reduce the height to fit your newborn snuggly.
Oscha Bairn Baby Carrier
Recently released, the Oscha Bairn Baby Carrier is a full buckle carrier that is wonderfully lightweight and simple to use. If you're new to the babywearing world it's a stress free option! It features:
- Integrated cinch allows the carrier to be adjusted to your baby's size
- With no additional padding the Bairn is not going to be bulky for your newborn either.
- Front, back and hip carries
- Suitable from newborn to approx 2 years
Because of the carrier design we would recommend choosing a fabric you love as the blend is not so important. A current customer favourite is the Shire™ Westfarthing fabric from the Middle-earth™ range.
