 Babywearing has many benefits to both you and you baby! These are just a few:
For Your Baby
- Babywearing is a great way of bonding with your baby.
- Babies who are carried in a sling tend to cry less than those who are not.[1]
- Being held upright can relieve the discomfort of colic and reflux.
- Babies carried in slings often learn more quickly than those who are not, since they are more involved in your life.[2]
- Babywearing improves communication between baby and carer, as the baby has greater awareness and experience of expressions and language
For You
- Carrying your baby can help to shift those last few pounds of babyweight!
- You are hands-free, which means that you can get on with things, without trying to juggle you baby at the same time
- Nursing mothers can breastfeed on the go, and not be stuck on the sofa.
- You are able to go to places, which may be inaccessible to mums with a pushchair
- Babywearing is fashionable and comfortable, with so much variety, you can choose a different colour for every outfit (and for less money than a pushchair!)
