What is a Baby Wrap?

Oscha baby wraps are a length of woven fabric specially designed to allow you to comfortably carry your child from newborn through to toddlerhood. Baby wraps can be tied in a variety of ways making them perfect for carrying children of all ages.

We make our baby wrap carriers in the UK and they are approved by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute as a ‘Hip Healthy’ product, this means they provide optimum support for hip development.

Read on to find out more about what a baby wrap is, what makes Oscha wraps so special and how to tie one.

New to woven wraps? Our FREE online course will tell you everything you need to know about choosing a wrap.

One Sling from Newborn to Toddlerhood

Infinitely adjustable, infant carrying wraps are the most versatile of baby carriers. With one woven baby wrap you and your partner can carry your child for your family’s whole babywearing journey.

The way they wrap around you and your little one allows the fabric to mould to your body shape while evenly distributing your child’s weight; making carrying them close a continually comfortable experience.

All our fabrics are weight tested up to 45lbs (or about 5 years old).

Woven Wrap Size Guide

For new wrappers, we would suggest choosing your 'Base Size'. This is the length you can do a Front Wrap Cross Carry (FWCC) with, and it is a great carry to start with. Instructions are included with your wrap.

You can use this handy guide to find your Base Size.

See our detailed Baby Wrap Size Guide for more information on different carries you can do with other wrap sizes.

Breastfeeding in a Woven Wrap

Baby wraps can be a helpful aid for nursing. Note that you do need to monitor your baby at all times when feeding in a sling and you will not be hands-free; you must always use one hand to support the baby’s head. Never use the sling fabric to support your baby’s head; they must be able to latch off and on freely.

Be aware of your usual safety checks and how they apply when breastfeeding in a wrap. Ensure baby always has good airflow, their back is supported so they are not slumped, and their chin is not pressed against their chest. Be aware of trip hazards when loosening a woven wrap. When you finish nursing, immediately return your baby to the normal upright carrying position and re-tighten the sling to be hands-free again.
