What are the benefits of babywearing?

Carried Babies are Happier

Babywearing 3 hours a day

  • Lessens crying by 43% overall and 54% in the evening
  • Aids good digestion, helps ease colic and reflux
  • Reduces the stress hormones in the baby
  • Gives you a far more relaxed, calmer and happier baby

 

Carried Babies Learn More and are Smarter

Carried babies spend their time in quiet alertness creating the optimal state of learning, resulting in enhanced visual and auditory alertness and speech development. Babywearing helps the baby’s developing brain make the right connections. Promotes early language development. Babies learn by watching faces, and babywearing puts your little one at the perfect height.


Secure Attachment

Babywearing enables the mother to be acutely aware of her baby’s cues. When a baby’s needs are met for the first 18 months of the baby’s life they form a blueprint for strong and secure children and their adult behavior of compassion, resilience and forming healthy relationships. It also helps as the baby can hear your heartbeat and it calms them down immensely as it resembles the feeling they got when they were in your womb.


Carried babies Sleep Better

Frequently carried babies fall asleep quickly and will usually sleep deeper and for longer periods of time.


Babywearing is healthy for the baby

Decreases risk of SIDS and flat-head syndrome, while promoting neural development, respiratory and gastrointestinal health, and aiding in balance.


Babywearing is Convenient

Three Words: TWO FREE HANDS!!! Multitasking while having your baby close and secure is now possible

 

Babywearing is Healthier for You and your Baby

Wearing your baby burns up to 300 calories a day! A brisk 10 minute walk will shed about 100 calories. Your baby when worn provides as much ‘resistance’ as a pair of hand weights. It improves your as well as your baby’s core muscles and posture. You can also comfortably wear your baby for far longer than you could carry your baby loose in your arms. When you wear your baby the weight of the baby gets evenly distributed and hence does not put unnecessary stress on your hips back shoulders or arms. Infact many parents who previously had back problems have noticed that using a carrier significantly reduced their symptoms.

 

Decrease the occurrence of postnatal depression

Many sources quote that one in ten women suffer from postnatal depression. Babywearing aids mother & baby relationship by forming a secure attachment and giving the mother and the baby a sense of closeness. Reduces stress in mothers as they feel positive and calm while babywearing and it also helps reduce anxiety. Since the mother is able to respond immediately to her baby’s cues, the baby cries less, is calmer and settles in easier; Happy Baby Happy Mommy! Mothers achieve a sense of freedom thanks to babywearing as they can tend to their own needs while still being close to the baby. Helps mommy socialise more, babywearing mothers all over the world really do come together to help and support one another.

 

Boosts Breastfeeding

Mothers who routinely babywear are twice as likely to breastfeed. Breastfeeding mothers who practice baby wearing find it easy to nurse their babies more often. This may help babies gain more weight. The shorter the time between feedings the higher the fat content in the mother’s milk. By wearing your baby, as a mother you can easily respond to their early feeding cues.

 

What is an ergonomic baby carrier?

A carrier that allows you to carry your baby in the most natural way by supporting their bottom, is an ergonomic carrier. Anmol Baby carriers are ergonomic and allow for healthy hip development in your baby. This is known as the ‘M’ position formed by the knees being higher than the bottom while seated in a carrier, the legs supported all the way to the knees while making sure the legs are flexed easily at the knees and not splayed.

WHEN CAN I START BACK CARRYING MY BABY?

This would ideally depend on you and your babies comfort level. However we highly recommend you to back carry (especially in an SSC) only when your baby is able to sit unsupported and can control their neck movements on their own which may be anytime between 6 – 8 months.

 

WHAT IS THE T.I.C.K.S. RULE?

T.I.C.K.S. Rule while Babywearing

Keep your baby close and keep your baby safe. While wearing your baby don’t forget the T.I.C.K.S.

                T  =  Tight

                I  =  In view at all times

                C  =  Close enough to kiss

                K  =  Keep chin off the chest

                S  = Supported back

TIGHT –  your carriershould be tight enough to hug your baby close to you as this will be most comfortable for both of you. Any slack or loose fabric will allow your baby to slump down in the carrier which can hinder their breathing and pull on your back.

IN VIEW AT ALL TIMES – you should always be able to see your baby’s face by simply glancing down. The fabric of the carrier should not close around them so you have to open it to check on them.

CLOSE ENOUGH TO KISS – your baby’s head should be as close to your chin as is comfortable. By tipping your head forward you should be able to kiss your baby on the head or forehead.

KEEP CHIN OFF THE CHEST – a baby should never be curled so their chin is forced onto their chest as this can restrict their breathing. Ensure there is always a space of at least 2 fingers width under your baby’s chin.

SUPPORTED BACK – in an upright carry a baby should be held comfortably close to the wearer so that their back is supported in its natural position and their tummy and chest are against you. If the carrier is too loose they can slump which can partially close their airway. (This can be tested by placing a hand on your baby’s back and pressing gently - they should not uncurl or move closer to you.)
