baby carriers

after nine months of warmth, movement and constant contact with mother, birth is a huge transition and babies are in need of a great deal of intimate contact with the parent. babies who are carried close to the belly, visibly enjoy this direct physical contact. the cherishing body-to-body contact fulfils a primal and profound need of the baby and offers it an ideal position to discover the world.

in a cotton sling, baby feels safe and secure, it feels the body warmth, hears its mother's voice and heartbeat. the baby recognises mother's scent and has constant direct eye contact with her. carrying your baby in a sling undeniable has numerous advantages.

research indicates that babies who are carried on a daily basic cry significant less. in a sling, a baby is not forced to passively and awaitingly spend the day, but it participates naturally in the daily activites of the parent. hence, the baby can observe and hear quite a bit, which is beneficial for its psychological development. when things get a bit too much, the baby simply closes its eyes and falls asleep against the chest of the carrier.

in the security of the sling, baby experciences the world from its safe position. the huge amount of stimuli it has to deal with in a brief period of time do not inspire any fear, because it is so close to the mother. this feeling of security results in the development of a positive self-image and later on, it will form the basis for a confident and assured personality. contrary to old popular belief, it has become clear that carrying your baby does not lead to overindulgence and dependency, but that it rather accomplishes the opposite.

in the first few months, it is quite often not easy for the daddy to develop an equally close bond with the baby as the mother. however, with a cotton sling he can undertake things in a very early stage, with the baby safely tucked on his belly.
