Why carry my baby?

Babywearing is an ancestral practice that was set aside for a few decades by Western societies in favor of strollers. The return to more natural and baby-centered parenting methods has brought it back into the spotlight.

What are the benefits of keeping your newborn close to you?

Benefits of physiological babywearing for the baby

  • It strengthens the emotional bond. Physical closeness releases oxytocin, the attachment hormone.
  • It regulates the baby's nervous system. Rhythm, warmth, and familiar scents provide comfort and reassurance.
  • The upright position aids digestion.
  • It stimulates muscle tone and balance.
  • It supports harmonious growth by promoting the physiological development of the hips and spine.

Benefits for parents

  • It supports breastfeeding by stimulating lactation and making nursing easier.
  • It allows you to respond to your baby's needs quickly and appropriately, boosting your confidence.
  • It gives you the freedom to go about your daily activities while taking care of your little one—it's the ultimate "hands-free" parenting tool!

Is babywearing suitable for everyone?

What babies can be worn?

Newborns can be worn from birth. In the case of prematurity, consult a healthcare professional for approval. There is no age limit for carrying a child.

Check the weight compatibility with the chosen model.

It is especially beneficial for:

- Babies with digestive issues: reflux, colic
- Little ones who have trouble self-soothing
- Children with developmental delays
- Infants with congenital hip dislocation

My baby doesn’t like being worn; is that normal?

Babywearing is beneficial for all children. If your infant doesn’t enjoy it, cries, or has trouble curling up in the carrier because of extension, it’s worth discussing with a professional. A manual therapist (osteopath, chiropractor) can identify if any tensions are causing this issue.

Who can carry the baby?

A baby can be carried by both mom and dad. It’s a way for the father to build a strong bond with the child and to support his partner, especially if she is breastfeeding.

Depending on your postpartum situation (cesarean scar, perineum), check with your midwife or gynecologist if there are any contraindications.

Babywearing doesn’t require a specific physical condition, but you will find that your endurance improves over time!

Another adult (grandparents, nanny) can also use a carrier with your infant if you wish.

However, it is not recommended for another child to carry the baby.

When to wear your baby?

Babywearing fits multiple situations:

- As a mode of transport, to drop off your child at daycare or with the nanny.
- For walks on any terrain, ensuring you are always comfortable in your effort.
- For the baby’s naps; they fall asleep peacefully while you keep your hands free for other tasks.
- To comfort your child if they are in pain or feverish.
- Simply for the pleasure of being close!

The safety rules to follow when carrying your baby

Up to 6 months, carry your baby in the front position.

  • Always ensure that their nose and mouth are clear.
  • Ensure proper physiological positioning (our tutorials are here to guide you):
    • Seated/squatting
    • Hips in retroversion
    • Rounded back
    • Head and trunk aligned
    • Hands within reach of the mouth
    • No footrests
  • Adjust the baby’s clothing according to the weather: the carrier acts as a layer of clothing. If it’s sunny, protect your child’s head. You can match our baby hat with your carrier system.
  • Do not carry your child while sleeping.
  • Carrying is prohibited in a motor vehicle: a car seat is essential for the baby.
  • Avoid engaging in sports activities while carrying.
  • Do not cook with your baby on you.
