subject: The Baby Carrier Helps Throughout The Baby's Growth [print this page] Watching your child grow is one of the most exciting parts of being a parent. Seeing your child grow from being a vulnerable baby to a toddler who talks and walks by himself brings so much joy to both parents. That is why the development of a newborn child is of topmost priority in every family. Babies develop very fast and before you know it, he is already a kid.
Generally, there is a pattern of a child's advancement. You must note the development of your child so that you can monitor any noted delay. Although slight delays are no cause for much alarm, it is still better to seek the advice of your doctor.
And with this, the baby carrier has advanced for the purpose of making it appropriate to use during a baby's growth stages. Some doctors usually warn parents to expect sleepless nights for the first 2 to 3 months, and that crying is the foremost way that a baby communicates. The baby cries whenever he is hungry, wet, ill or tired, so it is quite normal for first time parents to get panicky during these instances. The key is giving him enough rest and sleep to calm him down.
On his 3rd month, he can already hold an object placed on his hand, turn his head to follow a sound, and even coo and laugh. By his 6th month, he rolls over, sits with his arms as support, and holds his bottle when feeding. During this time, many parents use a stroller because it has proven to be beneficial to babies who are still very fragile. Some parents also use a body or hip baby carrier for these things, while some do not use the backpack carrier during the early months because of a fear of compression to the body of the baby.
And in a few more months, a baby can already crawl, copy actions like clapping and waving goodbye and even say monosyllabic words such as "Da-da, Ma-ma". By this time, the backpack style carriers are more acceptable since babies are already heavier. In the later months, the baby will then show that he can communicate and find more interesting things to do. At this stage, many parents like to use the front-facing baby carrier because it allows the baby to move freely about while still being under the direct supervision of the parent.
