The baby lift can be used immediately after the child is born and up until the baby is 7 months or 9 kilos – this is part of the European safety standard, which the lift has been tested under. This means that all lifts that are tested under this standard will go no higher than 9 kilos. We recommend that you buy the lift before giving birth, so you have the time to get to know the lift with all the different options and we also recommend you to place the baby lift in your own bed in the days up to your due date, making the lift smell like you and your partner, which will instantly comfort the baby even from first time using the lift. It can also be done by placing some of your ’unwashed’ garments in the lift. Remember to bring the lift to the hospital, so it can be a practical help for you and the baby from the very beginning.
