🌷Why babywearing should be in the toolkit for the parent of every new born 🌷
I remember the newborn days well, after all I’ve been there four times. Despite what the media portrays it isn’t all cute babbles, adorable outfits and baby sleeping in the Moses basket whilst you enjoy a leisurely dinner with your other half. Newborn days and indeed nights are tough, even with the easiest of newborns.
Babywearing can be an amazing tool that can make a real difference in many areas.
⭐️ Babies who are worn suffer from less colic and crying according to research.
⭐️ Babies who are worn often sleep better during the day which leads to better sleep at night
⭐️ Wearing your baby can be a fantastic way to wind them, the gentle movement encourages air bubbles to work their way up, this mean less trapped wind and a happier baby.
⭐️ Research shows that keeping babies upright after feeds helps reduce reflux babywearing allows you to do so whilst getting on with other things.
⭐️ Being hands free this is one of the top reasons new parents turn to babywearing. A sling allows you to have your hands free to do things like household chores, be hands on with another child, walk the dog or do the important things like eat cake!
⭐️ Bonding- babywearing is an excellent way to bond, the skin to skin contact releases oxytocin also know as the love hormone which is responsible for that on cloud nine feeling.
⭐️ Breastfeeding- babywearing can be a real tool for upping milk supply as baby is kept close. You can also feed on the go but I strongly recommend getting support from a trained babywearing consultant for this so you can do so safely.
⭐️ Limits physical contact with other people- we are fast approaching RSV season, you have more control of keeping baby away from strangers hands when they are strapped to your body. The lovely little old ladies in the supermarket just love reaching into the pram or car seat to stroke babies face. Babywearing means you can step back to avoid contact. It also prevents “pass the parcel” with the baby at social gatherings!
⭐️ Babywearing can is shown to reduce instances of poor post natal mental health.
So now you know some of the positive aspects of Babywearing why don’t you hire a sling to see just how amazing it can be.
