Babywearing, or bringing the child close to the body through the use of baby carriers and swaddles, is a millenary practice that is experiencing a rebirth in contemporary culture. Today, parents around the world are embracing this ancient tradition for a myriad of reasons, from comfort for the child to ease of management for the parents. In this article, we'll explore what babywearing is, how to do it safely, the benefits it brings, and we'll give you some examples of which product you can choose

.

Safety is the priority when practicing babywearing, here are some basic tips:

  • Correct Position: Ensure that the child is positioned in a natural M position with the knees higher than the hips to ensure healthy hip development.
  • Fit Test: Regularly check the fit of the baby carrier or headband, making sure they are properly fastened and adjusted to support the child's weight evenly.
  • Head and Neck Control: During the first months of a child's life, it is essential to ensure that the head and neck are properly supported.
  • Temperature Control: Pay attention to the child's temperature, avoiding overheating. Make sure that there is always a good flow of air, for this reason there are various waist packs made of very breathable fabrics such as mesh that are excellent especially in the summer months
  • .

Babywearing offers a number of benefits for both the child and the parents:

  • Affective Bond: Constant physical contact during babywearing helps to establish a strong emotional bond between parent and child.
  • Convenience: Bringing the baby close simplifies daily activities, allowing parents to move freely while caring for their little one.
  • Motor and Sensory Development: Babywearing promotes the child's motor development and stimulates the senses through the exploration of the surrounding world.
  • Crying Relief: Carried children often cry less, as they feel safe and comforted by the parent's closeness, lulled by the adult's breathing and heartbeat.

On our site, we offer a wide range of babywearing options, ensuring comfort, safety and style. From ergonomic baby carriers to wraparound wraps, each product is carefully selected to meet the needs of

parents and children.

Among the various types proposed as bands, we recommend models such as those of Bamboom Sling or Moby Wrap Elements that can be used up to 2 years old, the bands are very soft and less bulky than baby carriers, you just have to be careful to tie it correctly to be able to carry the child in complete security.

If, on the other hand, you prefer the use of the baby carrier, there are models suitable for up to about 11 kg of the child, which are therefore designed to wrap well the baby's small body, in this case we can recommend Embrace by Ergobaby or the Mini baby carrier by Babybjorn, which is also available in the version in Super breathable 3D mesh

.

If you choose to use the baby carrier for longer, there are models that are very comfortable and simple to wear, which allow you to carry the child in multiple positions (e.g. even on the back) always in a safe way.
For example, Cudl Clik by Nuna is made of mesh fabric to facilitate the passage of air, and there is also an integrated newborn insert to ensure soft and safe use with children under 4 months old.
The Ergobaby Omni 2.0 Breeze baby carrier is suitable from birth to 4 years old, this model is also super breathable, offers more positions for carrying the child, comes with a hood for privacy during breastfeeding or for protection from the sun, and with a storage pocket.
Another very comfortable model for children and adults is the Stokke Limas Flex, compared to the other models this one is made of cotton, a peculiarity of this model is that the belt can be easily removed and used as an onbuhimo, a traditional Japanese model to carry the child on the back without a

belt.

Whatever model you choose, it is important to choose a certified model so that it is safe for the child, and to wear it correctly, then you will be ready to share the days with your little one.
