Babywearing benefits
Here are my top 5 reasons as a mum, physiotherapist and lactation consultant.
Babywearing benefit 1
Bonding: Begin to create lifelong connections between everyone in the family. Babywearing keeps bub close so you can really get to know each other.
Babywearing benefit 2
Physical benefits for baby: Input into baby's vestibular system, muscle activation as the caregiver moves around and preventing flat spots on delicate heads.
Babywearing benefit 3
Get things done: Be hands free. Practicality mixed with opportunities for self care as baby sleeps happily in skin to skin contact, what could be better?
Babywearing benefit 4
Babies cry less: A baby that spends 10 hours in contact with a caregiver cries half as much as a baby that only gets 6 hours contact in 24 hours. A calm baby equals happier parents.
Babywearing benefit 5
It supports breastfeeding: Got to get the lactation related reason in here! Being able to see and respond to baby's cues facilitates breastfeeding.
