Many parents end up using a car seat carrier for holding their baby. It’s a great convenience but very limiting for the baby and he or she losses out on so many advantages of being closer to mom and dad. Once a caregiver gets used to a sling-type carrier (which can take time) it’s so much better for everyone. Here are some advantages of babywearing:
1) the child feels the warmth of the mother or father
2) the baby feels and hears the parent’s heart beat and voice
3) the baby smells the parent’s scent
4) it mimicks the womb making the baby feel calm and secure
5) the parent’s motion can lull the child to sleep.
In addition to freeing up the parent’s hands wearing one’s baby in a fabric baby sling distributes baby’s weight more evenly across a parent’s back. It’s better for baby and better for mom and dad. Baby slings typically come with instuctional DVDs which can help a caregiver learn how to use one.
