Why children should be carried?
Children can be carried in many ways. You can, for example, use the world's oldest slings, which are undoubtedly our hands, but every parent knows that you can not operate so every day. In Europe, until recently it was thought that the space occupied by a child can be narrowed to three dimensions: cot, stroller, floor - hands were, and are often inaccessible or very limited blessing (because even if you love to carry your baby, You are not able to do this uninterrupted even by the hour).
And children like to be carried! And nobody can deny this. One can now ask the question whether this is due to their selfish attitude towards the world, whether they simply needed this to properly develop.
Let's look at some facts:
- newborns have reflexes that confirm they are adapted to be carried on the body of the parent / guardian
- Physiological rounding of the back of the child confirms the belief of physiotherapists that the systematic laying of infant position 'on my back' is not a good idea
- No other mammals do not grow so slowly, the child in the first year of its life needs constant parent care and studies show that for the normal development, also parent's closeness is essential
- carried child feels a part of the adult world, it sees exactly everything from their perspective, so it learns patterns and behaviors needed in adult life. In a word the carried child grows better, learns faster and becomes standalone
- in the scientific community in 1996 studies results appeared (in Pediatrics magazine), which clearly confirm the fact that carried children cry less by 43% during the day and up to 51% at night! - If your child does not lose time to wail at that time can play, learn and develop
- we all descend from the nomads, who are already 6000 years ago had to travel with the offspring.
Conclusion: The carrying of children is not a modern fashion or whim of parents - it is deeply rooted in our consciousness and well-known for generations, is also a reversion, which probably helped to survive and spread to the human race and it is therefore a natural response to the needs of a newborn child and its guardian.
In Europe, the tradition of carrying of children begins coming back but in many cultures, it is well known and passed down from generation to generation.
World of contemporary mother is no longer so simple as it once was. Today, parents must be ready for anything. The time of extended families is irrevocably over, and the beginning of motherhood is not always easy. Sling and carrying in the sling, even if it is not 'the whole evil drug' certainly solves many problems of debuting parents. Be sure to find out why this is happening
