Why baby carriers? All the benefits for parents and baby at a glance

Dear (expectant) mom, dear (expectant) dad,

We know that the journey of parenthood is full of questions and decisions. One of these decisions concerns babywearing—one of the most natural and loving ways to accompany your child in everyday life. Drawing on our own experience and inspired by the ancient practice of babywearing, we want to share with you the wonderful benefits that babywearing offers both you and your baby.

Why carrying your baby is so valuable

Babywearing is much more than a practical way to get your baby from A to B. It's a loving embrace that accompanies your child throughout the day.
In many cultures, babywearing has been a natural part of family life for centuries. It strengthens the bond between parent and child and promotes the well-being of both. You can read more about bonding and how babywearing strengthens the connection between you and your child in this blog post .

5 Benefits of Babywearing

1. Security and safety
   Your baby feels safe and protected in the carrier. They feel your closeness, hear your heartbeat, and smell your familiar scent. This closeness conveys security and can help make your child calmer and more content.
   
   
2. Promoting physical development
   Carrying supports the natural development of the hips through the spread-squat position. This position can help prevent hip dysplasia and promotes healthy physical development.
   
   
3. Calming and less crying
   The close contact in the baby carrier can help your baby cry less and calm down more quickly. The gentle movements and proximity to you have a calming and comforting effect.
   
   
4. Stimulation of the senses
   In a carrier, your baby can actively participate in family life and explore their surroundings from a safe perspective. This promotes sensory development and allows your child to gather new experiences.
   
   
5. Supporting emotional development
   This constant closeness strengthens your baby's basic trust and lays the foundation for healthy emotional development. Your child learns that they are loved and protected, which builds self-confidence.

5 Benefits of Babywearing for You as a Parent

1. Strengthening the bond
   Babywearing provides you and your baby with intense moments of closeness. Your child feels your warmth, your movements, and your voice – this creates a sense of security and trust. This close connection strengthens your bond in a completely natural way.
   
   
2. Relief in everyday life
   With a baby carrier, you keep your hands free for other tasks. Whether housework, shopping, or taking walks – carrying your baby makes your everyday life more flexible and easier.
   
   
3. Mobility and freedom
   A carrier is compact and allows you to reach places that are difficult to access with a stroller. Stairs, narrow alleys, or public transportation are no longer an obstacle with a carrier.
   
   
4. Improved awareness of children's needs
   The close contact in the carrier allows you to better perceive your baby's signals and respond to them more quickly. This promotes mutual understanding and strengthens the trust between you and your child.
   
   
5. Promoting your own health
   Carrying your baby can help strengthen your back muscles and promote an upright posture. The even weight distribution relieves strain on your back and shoulders and can help prevent tension.
