To carry or not to carry – that is the question…
Are you interested in babywearing but still hesitate if it’s really for you? Not sure what it’ll bring to your life? Just look at some advantages of it – they’ll certainly assure you that babywearing is worth trying!
Closeness
A child’s need for being close to her or his parents is very natural – it’s nothing strange that a small baby demands to be carried most of the time! A child is not a ‘terrorist’ – she or he only fights for a natural right… It’s much easier and better for your spin to use a wrap or a carrier than to carry the baby in your arms all the time.
Best way to comfort baby’s pains and anxieties
Teething, illness, stress – these are the moments when your child needs even more closeness. A wrap or a carrier will comfort your baby, help her or him calm down and avoid overstimulation.
Multitasking
Free hands for making daily routines and paying attention to other children are very important. Small babies may be sometimes very demanding (especially if they are so-called ‘high need babies’). It is much easier to cope with everyday challenges when your child is close to you in a wrap or a carrier. Cleaning the house? Preparing a meal? Reading a book? Making a chestnut figures with your older child? No problem! Everything can be done with babywearing.
Mobility
Babywearing means mobility: you don’t have to struggle with the stroller in a deep mud, snow, with curbstones and stairs.
Travelling possibilities
A wrap or a carrier is much smaller than a stroller – and therefore, easier to take with you on a journey. And you can use it everywhere, in every weather condition, on every surface (even a desert is no problem).
Reduction of parents’ stress
When your baby is calm and happy and your hands are free you can do many things at the same time. As a consequence, you feel relaxed and are less prone to depression. Remember – your mental health is very important!
Beauty of the fabric
Wraps and carriers made by a true weaving studio are made of fabrics that meet our inner need for a beauty, in the same way as clothes, shoes, bags or jewelry.
