Get to know your Baby K'tan! This facebook live with Kristin Przybylski, Trained Babywearing Educator, discusses how to choose the correct size Baby K'tan baby carrier.
My dress size is inbetween a S and XS. This is for my second baby. My first was full term but 5lbs 14 oz. My second is measuring small. Should I get a S and shrink it and not wear baby until baby is closer to 7-8 lbs? Or get an XS and carry baby right away? Or, would it be better to get a S so I can continue to wear baby as baby gets a little older. Or am I just gonna have to buy a larger size? Sorry just extememly interested. Wanted one for my first but never purchased one.
Hi Katie! You do want a snug fit so that baby is "visible & kissable". Please reach out to our K'tan Care team at: info@babyktan.com or you can use our sizing calculator: www.babyktan.com/sizing/. Happy babywearing!
I bought a Used one and it’s size small. It fits my baby pretty nicely but I can’t nurse in it. I watch a couple videos but i can put him out and down enough to nurse do I need to go w a medium?
Hi Angel! Breastfeeding in the Baby K’tan is possible and can be a great bonding experience for mom and baby. Please keep in mind that nursing in the Baby K’tan is different for each individual and some may find it easier than others. A cradle style hold is generally a good option to start; however, we recommend playing around with the different positions to see what works best for you and your little one. We also have some tips here: www.babyktan.com/breastfeeding-in-the-baby-ktan/ . And of course, be sure to reposition your baby to an upright hold after you are done nursing. You can also confirm sizing using our sizing calculator here: www.babyktan.com/sizing/ or reach out to our K'tan Care Team for additional sizing assistance at: info@babyktan.com

Anna Naranjo i didn’t feel comfortable ordering a M and it not fitting or me & baby being frustrated. I did some more research and am going with the Boba wrap instead. Being large chested, I’m just not going to risk it. Hope this helps!
Evelyn Moses that’s my concern to. I was going to order a large because I’m usually a 2x in shirts since my breasts are big but then after watching her video I’m also concerned if i needed to go to a medium i ordered a boba also Afew days ago i just hate how long it takes to put them on
Anna Naranjo oh well if you already have boba then I’d go ahead and order the M. If you don’t like it you can send it back for a bigger sz! My baby is due in a few weeks so I got tired of exchanging things already lol. I felt like boba was the safer route in the mean time.
Hi Katherine! The sash is needed in the HUG (video above) & Adventure positions. We say " feet out, sash on". You can purchase a replacement sash here: babyktan.com/products/replacement-sash. Happy and safe babywearing!

Hello, i'm 4'11 and my size usually S or SX but my baby is 4months old she's 6kg
How do you fit for someone who never wears dresses ? (let alone fitted dresses?) Fitting by dress size is not practical for most women.
