Advice:10 Benefits of Baby Wearing

Benefits of Babywearing
Studies have shown that babies who are worn in a soft baby carrier are calmer, more content and cry less. With the ability to explore the world close to you, they learn better and grow up happier and more confident.

1. PROMOTES BONDING. Carrying your baby is a great way to connect with her. Your baby is "right there" to enjoy whenever you feel like hugging, kissing or talking.
2. ADAPT TO WORLD .  By being so close to you and hearing your familiar heartbeat, breathing, voice and warmth, your newborn is able to adapt to life outside the womb much more quickly.
3. CALMS. Walking around and putting your arms round your baby in a pouch helps soothe fussy babies.
4. STIMULATES. Babies stay longer in a "quiet, alert state" when carried. This is the ideal state for learning. Rather than just seeing the world from their cribs or pram, wearing your baby allows him to see what you see and explore the world.
5. BREASTFEEDING. Breastfeeding in a pouch not only preserves your modesty, it also gives your tired arms a break and allows you to chat on the phone or surf the web.
6. MULTI-TASK. With your baby in a pouch, yours hands are freed up to do other things, like preparing meals, cleaning and caring for your other children.
7. GET A LIFE. Carrying your baby in a pouch while out shopping or running errands couldn’t be any easier. Definitely beats the hassle of carrying that heavy car seat or stroller. Just pop your baby in your pouch and go!
8. EXERCISE. Carrying your baby while walking around is the same as carrying dumbbells altogether. Its a great way to lose some of the post partum fat.
9. TOILET EMERGENCY. This depends on which carrier you are using but this saves you when you're out all alone with no place to put your baby down when you need to empty that bladder. 
10. SAFETY. Your baby being close to you is the safest. Instead of running loose in crowded or dangerous places, a child in a sling is held safe and secure right next to your body. Slings also provide emotional safety when needed, so that children can venture into the world and become independent at their own pace.

My Review:

Pros:

• All the Benefits of Baby Wearing 
• Easy to wear/assemble
• Easy to keep in the bag and carry around
• Washes easily
• Long lasting
• Cooling

Cons:

• Shoulder and Back ache when you carry your baby for long
• It could get uncomfortable when the baby grows bigger

Overall: I enjoy carrying my baby in this pouch when we are outdoors, the longest i have carried him in it was 10 hours. He prefers this more than his stroller. I carry him in it when he is fussy at home as well but this is on rare occasion when he wants to be carried all the way. I enjoy this carrier the best than most of the carriers out there. 

Rating: 5/5

Tips: Be careful when you put baby in the carrier, always make sure that the baby is secure in the carrier before going hands free. Re-adjust if you feel uncomfortable as this means that the baby is uncomfortable as well. Always support your baby just in case of any accidents. Make sure that the baby has a good air flow. 

Recommended age: 2months+
