What is Babywearing?<\/h4>\n

The term \u201cbabywearing\u201d has been used to describe the age-old tradition of carrying babies using long fabrics wrapped around a mother\u2019s body.\u00a0 Although this custom has been recently revived in our western society, many cultures around the world have been using this mode of baby transport for centuries.<\/p>\n

Babywearing Benefits<\/h4>\n

Besides the obvious benefit of convenience, there are numerous other benefits to babywearing for\u00a0both<\/u><\/em>\u00a0parent and infant.\u00a0It\u2019s been shown that infants who are carried are generally calmer because all of their primal\/survival needs are met.\u00a0 Their caregiver can be seen, heard, smelled, touched and provide feeding if needed.\u00a0 \u201cSkin to skin\u201d contact is maintained and a strong bond between baby and parent is established.<\/p>\n

As well, the constant motion and rhythm have a balancing and soothing effect on infants resulting in less crying and fussing overall. In addition, babies who spend a significant amount of time in a car seat, stroller or swing often develop spinal restrictions and irregularities. Babies who are properly carried have a better natural development of their cranium, spine and postural muscles.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, babywearing offers parents practicality and freedom to multi-task (i.e. chase after older toddlers) while attending to their little one \u2013 a more \u201chands-free\u201d approach.\u00a0 Many moms even master the art of babywearing and breastfeeding at the same time! From a chiropractic perspective, it is also a safer, back-saving alternative to lugging around a heavy, bulky car seat.<\/p>\n

Types of Carriers<\/h4>\n

Here\u2019s the thing – babywearing is super easy\u2026once you\u2019ve got the hang of it!\u00a0 It\u2019s like everything else in the baby world (i.e. diaper changing, breastfeeding) \u2013 it takes some practice at first but it soon becomes second nature.\u00a0Finding the right carrier for you and baby is super important and often a bit overwhelming with so many styles to choose from.<\/p>\n

Here is my easy breakdown of the most common\u00a0types of carriers<\/a>\u00a0on the market today:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wraps<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A wrap, either stretchy or woven, is a long piece of fabric that is wrapped around your torso and usually over both shoulders and tied off at the waist.\u00a0 It is one of the oldest and simplest ways to carry a baby.<\/p>\n

    I especially love using a stretchy wrap, such as the\u00a0Moby Wrap<\/a>, for newborn babies up to 6 months because it gives their itty-bitty spines some added flexibility and can be perfectly sized to fit their tiny bodies.\u00a0 Wraps are also so perfect for snuggling! Some other examples of wraps are the\u00a0Baby K\u2019Tan<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Boba Wrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Ring Slings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      A ring sling is a long stretch of fabric that runs across your body and is secured by 2 rings over one shoulder.\u00a0 Slings are versatile and are great for newborns, babies, and even toddlers.\u00a0 They can be used for carrying babies on the front you\u2019re your torso or over to the side on the hip.<\/p>\n

      I love the\u00a0Baby Tula Ring Slings<\/a>\u00a0because they come in the most beautiful of fabrics and after a bit of practice, they are quick to put on and take off without a whole lot of unwrapping.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Soft Structured Carriers (or Buckle Carriers)<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        A soft structured carrier (SSC), or buckle carrier is probably the most common choice for babywearing newbies.\u00a0They are super comfortable, easy to wear and are especially great for kiddos of all ages as most of them come with a newborn insert perfect for those early days with baby.\u00a0They are made of a soft padded material and have a bit more structure with two shoulder straps and buckles to fasten.\u00a0These carriers tend to be a bit more ergonomic, perfect for outdoor activities and long stretches of babywearing.<\/p>\n

        One of my favourites is the\u00a0Ergobaby Four Position 360<\/a>\u00a0because of its sheer versatility and the various ways in which you can carry the baby (front inward, front outward, back carry and side carry).\u00a0It\u2019s a popular choice among new families. I also really love the\u00a0Baby Tula Free to Grow<\/a>\u00a0because it can be used as early as 7 lbs without an added infant insert and is super comfortable through all stages of baby\u2019s growth. Other popular picks include\u00a0Baby Bjorn<\/a>,\u00a0Beco Gemini<\/a>,\u00a0Lillebaby<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0Boba<\/a>.<\/p>\n

        Babywearing Safety Tips<\/h4>\n

        There are correct and incorrect ways to carry your baby and certain safety precautions must be considered. Each carrier, wrap or sling should have an instruction booklet \u2013 read these carefully before using with the baby.<\/p>\n

        Here are a few more guidelines and safety basics:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Check your sling, carrier or wrap for wear and tear before every use.\u00a0 Look for ripped seams, torn straps, and damaged buckles.<\/li>\n
        • Keep baby\u2019s face in view and baby\u2019s head close enough for you to kiss.\u00a0 Remember \u2013 \u201cVisible and Kissable\u201d<\/li>\n
        • Always keep slings and carriers snug.<\/li>\n
        • Keep baby\u2019s chin off their own chest to maintain a clear airway.<\/li>\n
        • Make sure baby\u2019s legs aren\u2019t bunched up against their tummy.<\/li>\n
        • Do not wear baby while cooking on the stove or working with sharp or hot objects.<\/li>\n
        • Do not ride a bicycle while wearing a baby.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          So there it is! Your easy-peasy guide to carrying your baby.\u00a0I personally have babywearing to thank for keeping my sanity intact on numerous occasions.\u00a0Give it a try!\u00a0And remember like any skill, baby wearing can take a bit of practice but the benefits for baby and caregiver are amazing![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
