Why is babywearing so important?

HUMAN BABIES ARE PREGNANT BY NATURE AND BENEFIT FROM BEING CARRIED BY THEIR PARENTS.

When your baby is born, it is initially helpless. It depends on the mother's closeness and care and is automatically picked up and carried. Infants cannot yet perceive their surroundings: a baby can only see 20-30 cm clearly - after that everything becomes blurry. This is just enough for your little one to be able to see the face of whoever is holding them. This is exactly the optimal distance when carrying a baby correctly Baby Carrier or a baby sling. With your physical contact, your child remembers the time in your tummy. Your smell, your voice, your heartbeat - everything it knows. Since the beginning of his life. Your baby becomes calm, cries less and immediately feels safe and secure.

Your body releases happiness hormones. Nature intended it that way. How nice if you still have both hands free.

When you get used to your everyday life with a new inhabitant, the desire to take part in life again often arises. Whether it's going for a walk, strolling around the city or just meeting up with friends. It's very easy for you to carry a child. It is close to your body, knows that it is safe and can get to know the surroundings and the new world together with you - from a safe distance.

Carrying babies is healthy.

Healthy hip development in the Baby Carrier.

Newborns are born with relatively soft bones, which are predominantly made of cartilage. The baby's hips are not yet fully developed either. If the baby lies on its back or is picked up, it reflexively bends its legs. The femoral head assumes the anatomically optimal position in the hip joint socket, which promotes healthy hip development. This is the so-called squat-spread position, the ergonomically correct carrying position in which the knees are bent at belly button height. When tying the sling and adjusting the bridge one Baby Carrier The fabric or the bar should therefore reach up to the back of the baby's knee in order to support the thigh up to the knee joint and to achieve a stable position of the hip joint. Correct wearing in the squatting, spread position has a preventative and therapeutic effect on hip deformities (see E. Fettweis, 2004).

The spine is initially rounded. The development of the spine into the typical S-shape of an adult occurs over the course of the first year of life. With the correct, tight tie of a sling or a Baby Carrier The child's back is well supported, vertebra by vertebra, in the upright position. Carrying it vertically also has the advantage that the baby's head, with its still soft bones, is supported by the correct binding technique or headrest Baby Carrier is supported and thus positioning-related deformation of the back of the head can be prevented. Carrying correctly strengthens the back muscles of the wearer in parallel with the baby's weight gain. With an ergonomic Baby Carrier The back is relieved when carrying it and back problems are prevented. That's how it is Baby Carriers also healthy for mom and dad.

Wear correctly!

The baby's gaze should be directed towards the person wearing it. However, if the baby's gaze is directed forward, the baby's legs are not supported and the hip joints end up in a stretched position, which means that the head of the femur can deform the edges of the joint socket (hip dysplasia) or even leave it (hip dislocation). The round back is then not supported, but is pressed into a hollow back. In addition, the baby cannot check “threatening” situations by making quick eye contact with you. Even when it gets tired, it is difficult for it to avoid the many stimuli. The child should be carried at “head kiss height”. It hugs the wearer. It must not collapse or tip to one side. For greater comfort, you can wear your baby carrier alternately on your chest, back or even your hips.
