Stretchy baby wrap – the best choice to start your babywearing journey

A stretchy baby wrap is the perfect solution for parents who want to carry their baby from birth but are just beginning their babywearing adventure. It’s soft, easy to tie, and works wonderfully during the first months of life. In this article, you’ll learn what an elastic baby sling is, how to use it, and how long it can be used.

What is an elastic baby sling?

An elastic baby sling is a soft wrap made of stretchy jersey fabric that adapts perfectly to both the wearer’s and the baby’s body. Thanks to its flexible structure, it provides a snug fit, optimal support, and a strong feeling of closeness.

It’s an excellent choice for newborns and young infants, especially in the first months – up to a weight of around 10 kg. Elastic baby slings are great for use at home, on walks, during naps, or while doing everyday tasks.

How to tie a stretchy baby wrap?

The simplest and most secure carry is the pocket wrap cross carry (PWCC) – a pre-tied wrap that you can put on in advance and simply place the baby inside when needed. This is especially convenient when you're shopping, walking, or on the go.

Each Little Frog stretchy baby wrap comes with a detailed illustrated instruction guide showing you step-by-step how to tie the wrap correctly and position your baby safely.

How long can you use an elastic baby sling?

Parents often ask: how long can I use a stretchy baby wrap?
The answer depends on your baby’s weight and development. Typically, stretchy wraps are used up to around 10 kg, which usually corresponds to 6–9 months of age. Once your baby becomes more active and heavier, it’s worth switching to a woven wrap that offers greater support and stability.
