From the moment your baby is born, you can baby wear your little bundle of joy. However, please ensure that you do not baby wear your baby when you’re riding a bicycle, motorcycle or even while driving. We must also state that Baby Wearing should never replace a proper car seat in your vehicle no matter what.
Why is Baby Wearing beneficial?
- Babywearing supports breastfeeding. When baby is held close mom can recognize early signs of hunger more easily and can begin to nurse (right in the carrier sometimes) without baby needing to cry. This awareness of baby’s needs makes for more confident parents and a closer bond as well.
- Carried babies cry less. According to one study infants who received supplemental carrying (not only in reaction to fussiness) cried and fussed 43% less overall, and 51% less during the evening hours.
- May help avoid spinal and cranial deformities. Babies who spend a significant amount of time in car seats and baby swings or other equipment can develop squaring of the cranium or spinal deformities. Properly carrying baby allows for natural development of cranium, spine and postural muscles.
- Babies who are held close, are able to regulate their own physiological functions (breathing, heart rate, temperature) in response to their caregiver.
- The obvious benefit of baby wearing is convenience. If baby is in a carrier, you can accomplish daily chores while knowing baby is safe and happy. Also, wearing a baby can allow you to go places strollers can’t (hiking, stairs, etc).
When can you start baby wearing?
Right from birth! Slings and wraps are ideal for newborns (check the manufacturers weight guidelines) and can be used as baby grows through toddlerhood.
How long can I wear my baby?
As long as you both want. If baby is in a carrier that supports healthy positioning, you can continue to wear your baby for as long as you are both comfortable, and up until baby hits the weight limit (which is often up to 15kg).
