We recommend waiting until the baby can sit up alone, as this will make it easier to switch to back carrying.
It is most common to carry them on the back once they can walk, although we can do it sooner if our baby demands it.
Keep in mind that carrying the baby in front allows us to establish eye contact with them. Conversely, in the back carrying position, the baby is more entertained, and we can have our hands free to do many everyday tasks.
Back carrying allows for a more comfortable weight distribution across the carrier's body, making it most advisable for carrying larger babies over long periods.
It is also important to consider the height of the carrier: if the baby limits our field of vision when we carry them in front, it is advisable to carry them on the back.
