A Sling's The Thing!

Most newborns start out in a sling that is made of a strong, lightweight material or nylon with a soft fabric lining. Baby slings are worn over one shoulder and sits diagonally in front of the parent’s body. Babywearing allows for baby to interact with the world as you do. Newborns spend most of their time eating and sleeping and carrying yours in an infant sling will keep him or her close to you allowing them to fall asleep with ease. The rhythm of your breathing, the motion of you walking, and the sound of your voice will keep baby assured of your constant presence. A baby sling allows you to run errands, do chores, and take care of other children because your hands are free and a carrier cover will keep your baby dry and warm in bad weather. Breastfeeding is also a breeze because baby is right there. The sling allows for easy feeding and privacy.

Is Baby Growing Bigger? A Soft Front Carrier Is Just The Ticket!

As baby gets to be three to four months old and able to hold their head up, a soft front baby carrier or convertible infant carrier maybe the next step for you. Most front baby carriers have a length and weight threshold for a baby to begin using them and require strap adjustments be made as your baby grows. Front carriers recommend that baby be placed facing the parent so the carrier can support baby’s head and neck as most three to four month olds are still building the muscles that will give them stable neck support. When the baby is old enough a whole new world opens up to them as you will be able to carry them facing forward when they have mastered head and neck control. This allows baby a safe vantage point to explore their surroundings, and let’s you stay in control of what baby is exposed to. The carrier is also a great way to take baby out for a walk or out shopping without having to lug around a stroller or car seat carrier. Just carry a few essentials in a diaper bag and you’re out the door.

Backpack Carriers For Bigger Babies!

As baby grows, there is a concern with how baby’s weight is distributed on the parent. Most backpack carriers allows for baby’s weight to be distributed to the hips and legs, and not the shoulders or back. If you're using a backpack carrier and feel pain in the shoulders or back, you may not be wearing the carrier correctly or have the wrong size. These carriers are designed to be as comfortable for the wearer as they are for the baby. Some carriers have infant inserts that can allow newborns to use them instead of using a sling and backpack carriers can see the child through until they are four years old. The convertible straps allows for the growing child to be moved from the front with infant insert to the back without it. The weight distribution to the hips of thevbackpack carrier can allow the child to be carried for years.

Babywearing Has Historical Origins!

Babywearing has a history that goes back centuries throughout every culture in the world. It allows a parent-baby bonding experience that a stroller, playpen or walker cannot provide.
