If you have a little person to look after, or are expecting one soon, take a look at Babywearing International. The benefits of babywearing for both child and carer are huge and there are so many lovely carriers to choose from these days it is hard to resist!
Our top tips for babywearing are:
• Make sure you try before you buy (everyone is different and you need to make sure the carrier you choose is the right one for you and your child) If you do not have a local stockist try your friend's carriers or find a retailer who is happy to send a couple of types of carriers to you and then accept returns of the ones you do not choose.
• Persevere. If you don't get on with babywearing at first, have a break and try again the next day. It can take a bit of practise, as with everything that is worthwhile.
• Do not accept discomfort. You should be comfortable whilst carrying your baby and so should they. If you are not, get help and advice someone who knows what they are doing. An experienced friend, Babywearing International, your nearest carrier stockist. You may need to change your carrier but it will be worth it!
• Make sure you are aware of babywearing safety...safety is paramount.
• Enjoy having your baby close and exploring the world with them.
Happy Babywearing Week!
