Learn how to wear the Kindred Bravely Skin to Skin Wrap Top for hands-free newborn bonding and easy nursing, with step-by-step tips and common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
Put on the Kindred Bravely Skin to Skin Wrap Top like a robe, place your baby against your bare chest inside the center kangaroo panel, then wrap the long ties around both of you to adjust support. Keep the fabric snug but not tight, and always support your baby with your hands or arms.
Why the wrap top works for postpartum bonding
The Kindred Bravely Skin to Skin Wrap Top is designed to let you hold your baby skin-to-skin hands-free, thanks to an adjustable wrap and a center kangaroo panel. Unlike a traditional carrier, it does not clip or buckle; you simply wrap the ties to get the right amount of support. This makes it a practical piece of postpartum skin to skin clothing for the early weeks when you are feeding and resting frequently.
Because the top is also a functional nursing top, you can use it for skin-to-skin contact after birth and for nursing while sitting or lying down. That dual purpose means fewer wardrobe changes during the day. Just remember that the wrap is not a structured baby carrier, so it should not replace a carrier for walks or active tasks.
When to choose a wrap top instead of a carrier
A wrap top like this is best for calm, seated, or reclined bonding at home, especially during the newborn phase when you want frequent skin-to-skin time without holding your baby with both arms for long stretches. It is not intended for upright carrying, housework, or outdoor travel. If you need to move around or keep your baby secure while being active, use a properly fitted baby carrier instead.
Also consider your comfort level with wrapping. The adjustable ties give you control over support, but they require a little practice to get even tension. If you have limited hand strength or prefer a simpler on-and-off design, a nursing tank or sleep bra might be easier for daily wear, though it won’t offer the same hands-free kangaroo panel.
How to wear the wrap top step by step
- Put on the top and open the panel: Slip your arms into the wrap top like a robe and leave the front open so your chest is bare. Make sure the center kangaroo panel is facing outward and ready to hold your baby. Check that the ties are untangled and the panel is not folded under.
- Position your baby skin-to-skin: Hold your baby upright against your bare chest, with their head turned to one side and their nose and mouth clear. Place them directly over the kangaroo panel so the fabric will support them from below. Always keep one hand on your baby until the wrap is secured.
- Wrap the ties around both of you: Bring the long ties around your torso and your baby, crossing them in the back or front as comfortable, and tie them securely. Adjust the tension so the fabric feels snug but you can still slide a hand between the wrap and your baby’s back. If the wrap feels too tight or your baby’s breathing seems restricted, loosen the ties immediately.
- Check support and breathing room: Look in a mirror or use your phone camera to confirm your baby’s chin is off their chest, their face is visible, and the fabric is not covering their nose or mouth. The kangaroo panel should support their bottom and back without pressing on their head. Never let the wrap cover your baby’s face or allow them to slump forward.
- Practice sitting and nursing: Sit down and lean back slightly to see how the wrap feels. To nurse, loosen the ties and lower the panel just enough to bring your baby to your breast, then re-secure the wrap afterward if you continue skin-to-skin. Always return your baby to a clear, upright position after nursing.
