Baby carrier for mum

Carrying babies in a sling allows mum and dad to maintain their independence: their hands are free to sort out the shopping, dry their hair, help older children with homework, answer an email.

A newborn baby carrier fulfils an infant's strong need for contact, a need which is both natural and vital for their development.

Physical contact with their parents during the first few months helps a baby to feel safe and secure. Baby carriers for newborns won’t spoil them, on the contrary, it lays the foundations for growing up to be an independent adult: it will help make them a calm and self-confident child who’s ready to explore the world around them.

Babywearing is an ancient and traditional practice, used worldwide as it offers so many benefits for both parents and baby, be that on a practical as well as emotional level.

By using a carrier for newborns, a dad can enhance his bond and understanding with the baby, who initially has a profound need for their mum given they are so used to living in symbiosis with her in the womb.

By wearing the newborn carrier, a mum also strengthens her bond with the baby, and both parents learn to understand their infant’s non-verbal cues.
