babywearing
|
In the previous post I gave some introduction of babywearing concept and the benefits behind it.
To sum up,
Babywearing is great for your baby!
Carried babies...
- Cry less! (43% less overall and 54% less during the evening hours)
- Are healthier! (gain weight faster, have better motor skills, coordination, increased muscle tone and sense of balance)
- Get a better view of the world! ( babies pushed in strollers or lugged around in car seats only get to see the adult world at knee-level)
- Become independent faster! (making them more confident and less clingy)
- Sleep better! (they fall asleep quicker and sleep for longer periods of time)
- Learn more! (not overstimulated, but calm and alert, observing and taking in the world around them)
- Are happier! (they feel loved and secured)
And it is great for you!
Carrying your baby...
- Enables better communication between you and your baby (without baby having to cry!) as you become attuned to her facial expressions and other gestures.
- Creates confident parents -there's no better feeling than when your baby is calm and content because you have met all her needs.
- Is convenient -there is no awkwardness like when carrying a heavy plastic car seat with one arm!
- Allows you to safely move about with your baby regardless of terrain -you can stroll down uneven sidewalks, narrow lanes, walk up stairs, or climb mountains.
- Is healthy for you -it encourages you to get out and get some exercise and some fresh air into your lungs.
- Provides security -access to food, warmth and love.
- Makes discreet nursing possible without having to find a place to sit.
- Helps you interact with other children while holding your baby close at the same time.
- Allows you to go places, together! You can go anywhere with your baby safe and secure.
