The benefits of baby carriers
Being a newborn is overwhelming. So is being a new parent. Everything that helps to keep your baby (and you) comfortable, is very welcome! That's why a nice baby carrier is so practical and versatile. You can use your baby carrier out and about, sure. But how about those times you just want to get something done around the house but your baby won't settle? Walking has a calming effect on newborns, so with the help of a baby carrier, you'll have your hands free while your baby can safely tag along. They might even sleep a little (or a lot)! And what about your toddler, who is so excited to go out and explore, but their little legs tire easily? A baby carrier allows you to be more flexible, even beyond those newborn weeks.
Did you know baby carrying can promote healthy attachment and emotional development? So whether you're a new parent or your child is a toddler already, a baby (or toddler) carrier might be just what you need.
Baby slings, baby wraps, baby carriers? How to choose?
So: you're excited about the bonding and attachment benefits of baby carriers. You're ready for the freedom that baby wearing gives you – with your baby on your back, the world is at your feet!
You may have already got as far as shopping around and checking out your options – and there are quite a few. You want to be sure it’s right. So how do you decide which of the many, many baby carriers, baby wraps or baby slings out there is going to work best for you?
The basics: what to look for in any baby carrier?
A good baby carrier should bring you and your baby closer. It should keep your baby soothed and calm, and your hands free for an effortless everyday.
Any baby carrier consultant will tell you that fit comes first and foremost. You need to be sure that your baby’s weight is distributed correctly for your safety and comfort, with no pressure points. The best baby carriers are made well, and with high quality material. Make sure that the baby carrier is hygienic and washable.
Some valid questions when shopping for a baby or toddler carrier:
- Is it the right size for your baby’s age, are your little ones legs in the correct ‘M’ position?
- Is your newborn getting the right support for their still-soft spine and neck?
- Are you looking for baby or toddler carriers that support multiple carrying positions?
- Do you want to breastfeed easily while your baby is in the carrier?
- Is the baby carrier hip healthy and has it been recommended by baby carrying experts?
- Does the baby carrier come with full product support and instructions to make sure you get the most out of it?
Last but not least, there’s a reason it’s called baby wearing! Why shouldn’t you have a baby carrier that looks good on you as well as feels good for you? Look for a good choice of cool colours and fabrics, patterns and plains. Find the right baby carrier, rock your baby, rock the look!
