4 Benefits To Using A Baby Sling Carrier

Babywearing and using a sling to carry a child around in have become popular practises in the Western world in recent years. As a form of transporting children about, it isn't something new, but something that has been used for a very long time. It has become popular because it has so many benefits. Below are just 4 of these.

1. It promotes physical development.

When a baby is in a baby sling carrier, attached to their mother, they become in tune with the rhythm of their mother's breathing, her warmth, the sound of her heartbeat and her movement. This helps a baby regulate its own physical responses in the world and helps their balance. Swing devices and baby hammocks do not offer the same benefits because they do not have the human heartbeat, the warmth, the rhythm of breathing that a baby requires to feel safe, nurtured and loved.

2. Toddlers like the security of a sling

Despite a sling being associated more with babies, toddlers also benefit from the use of a sling. A sling, for some toddlers, can be a safe haven to go after a tantrum or when they are tired and just want to cuddle up with their mother/father. The sling can provide a security place just like when they were a baby and this can be important for a child's growth in confidence.

3. Slings provide safety and reassurance to both caregiver and baby

Instead of being separated by a pushchair, a sling provides added security in a harsh cruel world. There is no danger of losing a child in a crowd or become detached in anyway because your child is right in front of you, attached to you out of harms reach.

4. Builds a better relationship between caregiver and baby

A baby in a pushchair isn't constantly in contact with their caregiver. Instead it is separate and usually crying is the only thing that brings them both back together. With a sling you are in constant contact with your baby. If she has an issue she is right there in front of you to let you know and doesn't have to shout or cry to get your attention. You can give her constant attention while getting about town.

Wearing your baby this gives you the ability to pick up on cues and learn your baby's needs. This is an important part of being a parent and being a confident one.
