Anyone using a K'tan with a newborn?

I'm having trouble getting her high enough, she keeps slipping down and ends up with her head on her chest. Does anyone have some tips to get the right positioning?

Re: Anyone using a K'tan with a newborn?

  • Is your baby at least 8 pounds? We had the same issue until we read about the weight minimum. Now that he is bigger, he fits better.

  • Our DD is just over 7lbs and we use it with her.  Could it be a fit/sizing issue with the wrap.

  • I had issues too so I kept her at angle and cradled her with my arm... Now that she is a little bigger (4weeks and 8.5 lbs) it is getting easier.... Do you need a smaller k'tan? Sometimes that can be the issue too. 

  • Hmmm she's 8lbs and was 20.5' at birth, so she's pretty big. I have an XS but I am fairly petite (5'1 and normally 115lbs). I'm just running it in the wash on hot to see if I can shrink it.
