Navigating your way through the endless options of baby carriers on the market is daunting. Babywearing has many benefits!
Why Babywearing may suit your family:
- Allows you to carry out tasks while keeping baby close
- You get a boost of oxytocin (the love hormone) when you have physical contact with your baby, which promotes bonding and can help improve postpartum depression and anxiety.
- You can skip lugging a pram in and out of the boot or on public transport. Excellent for grocery shopping to avoid the germ filled baby bassinets on trolleys!
- Easy to navigate through crowds using a baby carrier than pushing a pram or stroller plus a spare hand to hold the toddlers or older kids hands
- Research shows that babies who are carried three hours a day cry 43% less overall and 54% less during the evening
- Great exercise!
Here is our list of what to consider when deciding what carrier suits you and your family:
- How old is your baby?
- What carry options do you require?
- Will you be sharing use of the carrier with your partner?
- Budget
Typically baby carriers fall into two categories for your babywearing journey called Ages & Stages or All-in-One. Neither journey is better than the other, it’s all about personal preference.
Perhaps you’d like an option that allows your baby to face out when developmentally appropriate, about 4-6 months old. Maybe you’re less concerned about facing out and just want simplicity of inward snuggles. Whatever babywearing journey you decide to take, Baby Central Singapore is here to support you!
