It is important to adjust your Izmi tightly around your and your baby to prevent them from slumping, so that their airways are protected.  An Izmi that is snug and tightly fitted will support your baby’s spine and head, enabling them to relax. It will also keep your baby’s weight snugly held into you; this will make them feel lighter and will help prevent backache or sore shoulders.  Your baby should be held high and snug against your chest, close enough to kiss the top of their head; and with the carrier tightened to prevent them flopping or slumping away from your body.  If your baby -feels heavy -is pulling on your back/shoulders or -moves lower on your body over time -needs to be supported with one or two hands Then you need to wear your Izmi higher and tighter on your body To check for the perfect fit: briefly lean forwards slightly, with one hand supporting your baby’s head. If their tummy flops away from your chest, your Izmi needs to be tightened. If you can’t comfortably take a deep breath: loosen your Izmi very slightly so it’s more comfortable for you.
