Benefits of Babywearing
At Kimro, we’re passionate about babywearing and we hope you will be too! Babywearing – the practice of carrying your baby in a sling or carrier - is more than just a convenient way to carry your baby when you’re out and about.
Here are just some of the benefits for both baby and wearer:
A secure and calm baby
Research shows that carried babies are calmer and more settled. Babywearing allows you to easily carry baby for extended periods of time without the strain or limitations of arm carrying. Babywearing helps ease the transition from womb to world by providing a reassuring and familiar environment. The constant movement in a carrier together with the soothing sound of your heartbeat, breathing and voice simulate the world baby is used to before birth. This helps baby feel secure and minimises stress and anxiety in their new surroundings. Their natural instinct for constant close human contact is satisfied.
Less crying and better sleep
In cultures where babywearing is a normal part of life, parents don’t seem to have the constant crying and sleep battles many of us experience in the western world. Carried babies cry less, sleep better and stay asleep for longer. Just like rocking a baby to sleep, your movements lull a carried baby to sleep. Babywearing is also ideal for babies who are unsettled and require constant attention: an arsenic hour essential!
Enhanced bonding for all
Babywearing enables you to have ongoing close contact with baby, enhancing and accelerating both bonding and attachment. Many carriers also permit skin-to-skin contact when used in the privacy of your home. Other important people in baby’s life can also enjoy bonding with baby, particularly those who are nervous or unused to holding babies.
A healthier start
Babywearing lends itself to faster weight gain, heightened motor skills, stronger muscles, and enhanced balance and coordination. |
