Babywearing is good for baby’s mental and physical development:
Mental development: babies spend more time in a quiet alert state, which is the best state for learning.
Physical development: being close to the mother and hearing her heartbeat will help baby adapt to life outside the womb better.
Babywearing promotes attachment:
Babywearing allows your baby to trust you and feel more secure which will lead to a healthy, independent child later on. Babywearing reduces crying- in African countries where traditional tribes wear their babies all the time, there is no such thing as colic. Babies who are carried are happy babies. Babywearing is convenient- you can stay close to baby while having your hands free to accomplish other daily tasks including looking after older children, cooking, etc.
Babywearing makes breastfeeding on the go easy:
While wearing your baby, it is possible to breastfeed hands free and discreetly in public.
Babywearing means less babygear to carry around:
While out and about there is no need for a stroller, you can simply wear your baby. This means that stairs are no longer an obstacle.
