Instructions on Babywearing: 

1. Secure a good fit of the carrier to the wearer: Ensure that the carrier is securely fastened and adjusted to your body size. Tighten straps or adjust buckles as needed to provide proper support and prevent sagging. 
   
   
2. Positioning: Position your baby in an ergonomic and comfortable position. Their hips should be spread apart and their knees should be higher than their bottom, forming an "M" shape. This position supports healthy hip development and prevents hip dysplasia. 
   
   
3. Practice Before Use: Before putting your baby in the carrier, practice adjusting and wearing it correctly. Familiarize yourself with the carrier's features, such as buckles, straps, and fabric, to ensure a secure fit. 
   
   
4. Check Baby's Airway: Position your baby high enough on your chest that you can easily kiss the top of their head. Ensure that their face is visible, and their chin is off their chest to maintain an open airway for breathing. 
   
   
5. Support Baby's Head: For newborns and infants, provide adequate head and neck support by positioning their head against your chest or using the carrier's built-in head support. Make sure their airway remains clear and unobstructed. 
   
   
6. Monitor Baby's Comfort: Pay attention to your baby's cues and comfort level while in the carrier. Check for signs of overheating, discomfort, or restricted breathing, and adjust the carrier as needed.
   
   
7. Distribute Weight: Distribute your baby's weight evenly across your shoulders, back, and hips to prevent strain or discomfort. Adjust the carrier's straps or positioning to achieve a comfortable fit for both you and your baby. 
   
   
8. Stay Active: While wearing your baby in a carrier, engage in gentle activities such as walking, light household chores, or outdoor excursions. Avoid activities that involve sudden movements or vigorous shaking. 
   
   
9. Regular Checks: Periodically check the carrier's condition, fastenings, and stitching for signs of wear or damage. Replace or repair any worn-out parts to ensure continued safety and functionality.

100% Raw Silk Cover cleaning instructions: 

Cleaning raw silk requires gentle care to preserve its delicate texture and natural sheen. Here's a guide on how to clean 100% raw silk: 

Spot Cleaning: Address stains promptly by dabbing the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can damage the fibers. 

Hand Washing: 

• Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water. 

• Add a small amount of mild detergent specifically formulated for delicate fabrics. 

• Submerge the raw silk garment in the water and gently agitate it. 

• Allow the garment to soak for a short period, typically 5 to 10 minutes. 

• Rinse the garment thoroughly with cool water until all detergent is removed. 

• Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can distort its shape. 

• Instead, gently press out excess water by pressing the garment between clean, dry towels. 

Machine Washing (Optional): Some raw silk garments may be labeled as machine washable. If so, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent designed for delicate fabrics. Place the garment in a mesh laundry bag to minimize friction and protect it from snagging. 

Drying: 

• Lay the garment flat on a clean, dry towel. 

• Gently reshape it to its original dimensions. 

• Allow the garment to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can cause the silk to become brittle. 

• Avoid hanging raw silk garments to dry, as this can cause them to stretch out of shape. 

Steam Ironing: 

• Once the garment is nearly dry, iron it on the lowest setting while still slightly damp. 

• Place a clean, dry cloth between the iron and the silk to prevent direct contact, as direct heat can damage the fibers. 

• Move the iron gently and continuously to prevent creating shiny spots or scorching. 

• Ironing on the wrong side of the fabric can help preserve its sheen. 

• Professional Cleaning: 

• For valuable or heavily soiled raw silk garments, consider professional dry cleaning to ensure proper care and maintenance. 

• Choose a reputable dry cleaner experienced in handling delicate fabrics. 

 

Cotton Poplin Cover cleaning instructions: 

 

Gentle hand wash in cold water. Cleaning cotton poplin is relatively straightforward, as cotton is a durable fabric that can withstand regular washing. Here's how to clean cotton poplin: 

Machine Washing: 

• Turn the garment inside out to protect the outer surface and reduce the risk of fading. 

• Wash similar colors together to prevent color transfer. 

• Set the washing machine to a gentle cycle using cold or lukewarm water. Hot water can cause cotton to shrink and fade. 

• Use a mild detergent formulated for colors or delicate fabrics. 

• Avoid overloading the washing machine to allow the garments to move freely and prevent wrinkling. 

• If the garment has any embellishments or delicate details, such as embroidery or beading, consider placing it in a mesh laundry bag to protect these elements. 

• Once the washing cycle is complete, promptly remove the garment from the machine to prevent wrinkles from setting in. 

Hand Washing (Optional): 

• If preferred, cotton poplin garments can also be hand washed for gentler treatment. 

• Fill a basin or sink with cold or lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild detergent. 

• Submerge the garment in the soapy water and gently agitate it. 

• Allow the garment to soak for a short period, typically 10 to 15 minutes. 

• Rinse the garment thoroughly with cool water until all detergent is removed. 

• Gently press out excess water without wringing or twisting the fabric. 

Drying: 

• Air dry cotton poplin garments by laying them flat on a clean, dry towel or drying rack. 

• Smooth out any wrinkles or creases while the garment is still damp to facilitate easier ironing. 

• Avoid hanging cotton poplin garments to dry, as this can cause them to stretch out of shape. 

Ironing: 

• Once the garment is nearly dry, iron it on a medium to high setting while still slightly damp for best results. 

• If necessary, use steam to remove stubborn wrinkles. 

• Iron the garment on the appropriate setting for cotton fabric, taking care not to apply too much pressure to avoid shiny spots or scorching. 

• Ironing on the wrong side of the fabric can help preserve its finish.
