Babywearing Part 2

✨ Did you know that babywearing can also benefit parents?

~ Babywearing is used for transportation and convenience, but also as a parenting tool.

~ It helps with bonding, regulation of baby’s nervous system, and improves feeding outcomes.

~ The breastfeeding parent may feel overstimulated after a feed. Babywearing allows the non-breastfeeding parent to bond with baby.

~ Especially with skin to skin contact, babywearing can help with postpartum anxiety and depression in low risk birthing parents.

Pretty much how every mama feels about the time 40 weeks rolls around!

Babywearing Part 1

✨ Did you know that babywearing can be beneficial for baby’s hips?

~ Babywearing can improve outcomes for hip development, and for babies being treated for hip dysplasia

~ Babies 0-2 months should have hips and knees fully flexed up towards the chest

~ After 2 months babies begin to gain more extension, and the best hip position for them is an M: really wide at the hips, with knees bend slightly higher than the hips

~ It is recommended that babies stay facing the wearer until at least 6 months because it’s much harder to maintain the M hip position when forward facing
