Babywearing is a practical and cozy way to carry a baby and can be used through a sling or ergonomic backpack, directly next to the caregiver's body.
Babywearing brings many benefits to Moms and Dads!
Reduces crying
Using a baby carrier can help reduce crying and fussing . Babies carried in a baby carrier cry and fuss less.
Promotes health
A child benefits from the touch of a parent , especially premature babies. Babywearing can provide these benefits.
Helps with breastfeeding
A baby close to a mother is also close to the mother's breastfeeding. With Babywearing , your child is always just a kiss away.
Improves connection
Using Babywearing helps to strengthen this bond and makes it easier to read your baby's signals, such as knowing when he or she is tired , hungry or needs a diaper change.
Makes daily life easier
Babywearing offers the advantage of keeping your hands free, making it easier to carry out daily tasks while your baby is being carried.
Follow the TICKS rule of babywearing!
In babywearing there is the TICKS rule, which means: Tight, In view at all times, Close enough to Kiss, Keep Chin off the chest, Supported back.
If you don't understand English, we can help.
Tight = Babywearing must be properly tightened
In view at all times = The baby inside the babywearing must be in view at all times
Close enough to kiss = The baby must be close enough to kiss, an important step in babywearing
Keep chin off the chest = Keep your chin off the chest
Supported Back = Back supported, if not, the babywearing is not fitted properly!
But how to choose Babywearing?
It must be ergonomic
(and it's not because it says on the box that it is)
Must be suitable
(at its stage of development)
It must be malleable
(as flexible as a sweater)
Must comply with safety rules
(always in sight, just a kiss away)
Make individual and consistent choices
( babywearing is not measured by weight, it is by panel-baby compatibility (it has to do with height))
