INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
Congratulations on your purchase of your
Noonoo Pie Tie. It will enable you you to “wear”
your baby without the fuss of belts, clasps or
buckles and your baby simply goes with you
as you carry on with your day to day activities.
Its great to be able to wear and not wheel your
baby around! Once you get started you will
realise how wonderful the experience of baby
wearing can be.
A few good reasons to carry your baby:
Babies who are carried a lot are proven to cry and fuss less.
This is especially true for newborns who are still trying to
adapt to their environment outside the womb. Wearing your
newborn is a great way to help your baby make this transition.
Its a good for your babys mental development. Babies who
are carried spend more time in an alert, but calm state. This
means that they can take in whats going on around them
without getting overstimulated.
Its great for your babys emotional development. Your baby
develops a sense of security and trust when you carry him.
They often become more independent at an earlier age
because of this.
Its even good for your babys language development. They are
close to your voice and can watch your facial expressions as
you interact with the environment and this helps them learn
faster.
Its convenient for you. Taking care of siblings, chores and
shopping are so much easier when you are wearing your
baby.
You can even breastfeed discreetly while wearing the Noonoo
Pie Tie!

Safety Guidelines
Your babys face should never be completely covered by the fabric and ensure that your baby can breathe.
Your babys face should be visible to you at all times. Your babys face should never be pressed up against

Never carry your baby in the Noonoo Pie Tie when riding a car or any other moving vehicle, or while doing
any vigorous activities such as jogging, horse riding etc.
Use only the positions that are appropriate to your babys age. For example: a newborn should only be
carried in the new born hold for appropriate neck support.
Be mindful of your babys temperature, always ensuring that he is comfortable.
Regularly inspect your tie for signs of wear and tear which may compromise the structural integrity of the tie.
Do not use if there is any damage to the fabric.
Provide support to your baby when bending down or leaning as your baby could fall if unsupported.
