Babywearing

Every baby is a carrier

Human babies are physiological premature births and highly dependent on secruity from their psychological parent. The term "carrier" was stamped from the biologist Bernhard Hassenstein in the 1970s. He outlines evolutionary biological behavioral characteristics of babies. As for example their gripping reflex, automatically drawn legs during lifting (the so-called Anhock-Spreiz-Haltung (ASH)), as well as the automatic clamp reflex.

Parent-child bonding

During pregnancy, our babies get used to their secure environment, which is characterized by warmth, confinement and familiar sounds. The fact that babies can hear, smell, taste and above all see us while being in the babywrap makes our carriers feel safe and secure. Wearing also promotes an important process for parents. We carry our babies directly at out heart - the happiness hormon oxytocin is released. Bonding between parent and child is strengthened.

While pregnancy, your baby had a similar position to the first months in the sling: the back rounded and the little legs slightly tucked in. In technical jargon, the little legs are referred to as the "squad-spread position". It promotes a healthy hip development of your baby - a correct wrapping method is of course mainly important for this. Your baby's spine also stretches during the first years of life. The sling helps to adapt to the spine and provide stability without wearing out.

Parents are often uncertain whether the baby is dressed too cold or too warm. In a sling you can quickly check the temperature in the neck.

You can always keep an eye on your baby and check if he or she is doing well.
