What is babywearing?

Babywearing is the practice of carrying your baby or toddler in a specially designed sling or carrier. It has been a traditional practice in many countries around the world for hundreds of years and is growing more and more in popularity in the Western world.

Babywearing can promote bonding, support breastfeeding, can help reduce postnatal depression, make looking after other children easier and can be a huge help for parents with children with more needs.

Studies have shown that babies thrive through touch and wearing your baby is the ultimate way to promote skin-to-skin contact.

Babywearing can also be great for other caregivers who want a beautiful way to bond with a baby in their care. Lots of foster and adoptive parents are using carriers as a way to form that initial connection with their baby or child. It can also reassure the baby or child that they are loved.

Baby carriers are incredibly convenient, With the help of a good carrier, you can take care of older children or do household tasks without frequent interruptions from an anxious or distressed infant. Baby carriers are also wonderful to use with older babies and toddlers; you can save those arms and go where strollers can’t. Climbing stairs, hiking, and navigating crowded airports all can be done with ease when you use a well-designed baby carrier!
