When can I start carrying my baby? The Half Buckle Baby Carrier from day 1
Are you a new mom or dad and wondering when you can start babywearing? Perhaps you're unsure whether babywearing is good for your baby, or whether you should wait a few more weeks. We can reassure you: With the right baby carrier, you can carry your baby close to you from day one – safely, securely, and lovingly. In this article, you'll learn why babywearing from birth is possible and even recommended, what you should pay attention to, and why our Half Buckle Baby Carrier from Mama Nuka is designed for just that.
Carrying from birth – is it good for the baby?
Yes – and how!
Babies are naturally carried. Immediately after birth, they seek closeness, warmth, movement, and security—all of which they find in physical contact with you.
Carrying from birth can:
✔ Make the transition from the womb to the world smoother.
✔ Strengthen the bond between you.
✔ Calm your baby.
✔ Relieve colic or difficulty falling asleep.
✔ Promote your baby’s basic trust.
Many parents report that their newborn is much more relaxed in the baby carrier – and that they themselves also find more peace when they carry their child close to them.
Which baby carrier is suitable from day 1?
Not every carrier is automatically suitable for newborns – because their bodies are still very delicate and need special support.
What is important is:
- An ergonomic squat-spread position
- Soft but supportive materials
- An individually adjustable headrest
- A flexible fit that adapts to your baby AND you
And that's exactly where our Half Buckle baby carrier from Mama Nuka comes in. You can find all baby carriers here.
The Half Buckle by Mama Nuka – your companion from day one
Our Half Buckle baby carrier is designed so that you can carry your baby safely and lovingly from birth .
It combines the best of both worlds: intuitive fastening thanks to the hip belt with buckle, and the flexibility and closeness of a sling thanks to the shoulder straps. This means you get security and support without sacrificing the soft, supple quality of a sling.
Why is the Mama Nuka Half Buckle particularly suitable?
✔ Suitable from approx. 3.5 kg (from birth)
✔ Soft organic cotton, plant-dyed & pollutant-free
✔ S continuously grows with the child – without newborn insert
✔ Optimally supports head, back & hips
✔ Fast docking, even when you're in a hurry
Many babywearing consultants recommend half buckles especially for beginners – because they are easy to put on without having to learn how to tie them like with a sling.

It's a magical moment to feel your newborn baby next to you for the first time in a carrier. They breathe calmly, they hear your heartbeat, they're completely with you – where they feel safe.
