The Why’s of Babywearing & Giveaway from Best Baby Organics

January 25, 2010

By Rhiana

Babywearing is a trend on the rise, but in fact babywearing is an ancient tradition. It is a primal maternal instinct to carry our babies. With the help of a babywearing device (like the Moby Wrap or Sleepy Wrap), it is also a modern convenience. You may remember that I LOVE using my Moby Wrap with my little one. So, “Why wear my baby?” you ask …
GOOD FOR BABY:

• Newborn are used to being in the womb and the shock of going from constant to little contact can be an unsettling.
• Being in sling/carrier with motion from your movement is womb-like and very comforting for baby.
• That dreaded “arsenic hour” always seems to fall during dinner prep time (the Moby/Sleepy is only carrier I’d feel safe using while cooking).
• Soothing touch and being able to see what’s going on make a needy baby a happy baby.
• Toddlers also enjoy the comfort of being close to mom/dad.

NEED TO BACK THAT UP?

Research shows that babies worn by their mothers (and fathers) cry less; and that babies develop a sense of secrity and trust – meaning they will become independent at an earlier age.

From API:  Needs and the Benefits of Nurturing Touch

• For the child, nurturing touch stimulates growth-promoting hormones, improves intellectual and motor development, and helps regulate babies’ temperature, heart rate, and sleep/wake patterns.
• Babies who receive nurturing touch gain weight faster, nurse better, cry less, are calmer, and have better intellectual and motor development
• Cultures high in physical affection, touch, holding or carrying, rate low in adult physical violence

GOOD FOR MOM, TOO:
I didn’t want to leave my baby, not even an arms-length away, after giving birth. Since newborns sleep so much, I couldn’t very well stay in bed all day – I had another child to care for! Wearing my baby was a great way for me to feel at ease. Now, the baby is a year old and I still wear her almost daily. She feels great seeing everything I’m doing, and feels safe and secure in public (since she is very wary of strangers). And I don’t have to lug a heavy stroller everywhere I go!
Two more great reasons?  (1)Nursing a baby while going on with your daily life is a cinch while carrying baby in a sling/wrap.  And, (2) babywearing even helps prevent postpartum depression!
Now that I’ve given you no reason to not wear your baby, you want to get started right? Wrap carriers are by far my favorite way tote baby around (and I’ve tried them ALL). There are so many great ways to carry your baby or toddler in one of these because it wraps different ways for different positions. It is so nice to have a wrap that can be used from infant to toddler, and even with multiples (whether it be twins or 2 different aged little ones). The lovely folks over at Best Baby Organics are helping the fine readers of Hurried Homemaker to get started with their own baby wrap!

Tips for Successful Baby Wearing

For many new moms and dads baby-wearing turns out to be a disappointing experience. After trying a few times they feel uncomfortable, baby feels uncomfortable, and the idea of baby wearing starts to be less appealing. New parents may end up convincing themselves that baby wearing is not for them and that they are just not the baby wearing type.

Before you give up on the idea and deprive yourself and baby from the great benefits of baby wearing, here are some tips to make the most of your experience:

1. Don't give up too easily
If your carrier feels uncomfortable it could well be that you are using it incorrectly. Make sure to read the instructions carefully before you start using your gear and try practicing with some kind of stuffed doll before you actually put baby in the carrier. This exercise will make you feel more confident when wearing your baby.

Also, depending on your baby's age, you should try different positions until baby feels comfortable. Some experts say that an upright tummy-to-tummy with their head on your chest position is the preferred position for most babies. There are specific positions for newborns and you should carry your newborn correctly. Remember that newborns need neck support.

When wearing your carrier, remember that babies like gentle motion, so walking or swaying may make the experience more enjoyable. It does take some time for you and for baby to get used to a carrier, but remember that practice makes perfect!

2. Right Size is Crucial for Success
Buying the right size carrier is a crucial factor. If a carrier is pulling on your neck, back, or shoulders, you are most likely using it incorrectly or you are using the wrong size. Remember that you should be using your core muscle to hold the weight. Following the correct wearing instructions and wearing the right size carrier will ensure that the baby's weight is distributed across your back. If your carrier is too big, baby is not secure in it and it isn't safe to wear a carrier too loosely.

3. Pick the right type of carrier for you
There are many types of carriers available. The most common and most widely available is the baby Bjorn front carrier type. This type of carrier can be a great choice but it does have its limitations. The baby Bjorn type is for infants up to 15 pounds or so. This may give the impression to some parents that a carrier is only for small babies, when in fact there are many other carrier types that can be used for newborns to toddlers.

You should also buy a carrier depending on what you plan to use it for. If you are looking for a baby carrier to do activities like walking or hiking, then a carrier like the Ergo or the Kokopax are great choices. But if you plan to snuggle or soothe your baby, then a pouch style sling like Hotslings is better. Also wrap carriers like the Moby Wrap or the Sleepy Wrap are very versatile and allow for a variety of carrying positions.

4. Try it out when baby is at his or her best
If baby is cranky or tired your chances for success are diminished. If you are trying out a new carrier, do it just after your baby has been fed and is in a good mood; this will make the experience smoother for both of you.

5. Wear baby high
This is a great tip found on one of the mothering magazine issues: Wear your baby high with both the sling and vertical front packs like the Baby Bjorn. This prevents back discomfort and allows you to carry a much heavier burden.

6. Babies go through Developmental Phases
Baby may like to be in a sling or carrier at one point and then a few days or weeks later baby starts disliking it. Don't be discouraged! give baby a break and then try the carrier again after baby has gone through his or her developmental "jump"

How to use a baby wrap

Curious about how to use a baby wrap carrier?
It's simple! and once you get the hang of it, you and baby will love going places with the wrap.
The advantages of attachment parenting are many and using a wrap is very easy.

Our friends at Sleepy Wrap_TM have put together this nifty "Tying Methods" guide to help you get started.

BASIC TYING METHOD









1. Unfold the wrap and find the Sleepy Wrap_TM logo at the center. Place the logo around your waist and wrap around your back.















2. Cross the two pieces behind your back and bring each side up and over your shoulders to the front. Try to keep the material flat so it doesn’t twist.















3. Tuck both pieces underneath the section with the logo.
















4. Pull them both down. The part with the label will rise up to your chest and should be adjusted so that it fits you snug and literally clings to your body. You are almost there.














5. Cross the pieces and bring the fabric around your waist behind your back. Make sure that the pieces cross each other high on your chest area (your sternum is a good reference point). There is no need to leave extra space for your baby.
















6. Cross the wrap and if there is enough fabric bring it back to the front. If not, you can tie a knot here.
















7. You may tie a double knot here, or if there is enough fabric tie the double knot on your back.

27 Reasons to choose a Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier

There are many different hands-free baby carriers to choose from. Yet, carrying your baby in a Sleepy Wrap will make a difference in your babywearing experience. Sleepy Wrap offers 27 advantages over other baby carriers on the market:

1. gives great support for little heads and necks -especially when your baby falls asleep

2. your baby fits just perfectly every time! -no guessing how much room you will need to leave for you baby to fit inside without being too tight or too loose

3. custom fit- simply tie the wrap carrier snug against your body and no matter what body type you are, it will fit!

4. good quality fabric -heavier cotton knit with a touch of spandex-the ideal material for babywearing

5. discreet nursing is no problem -no need to take the baby out of the wrap baby carrier or use any special attachments for privacy

6. your baby’s hips and legs are supported and not just hanging down

7. no pressure points on your baby -no pressure on developing hips or spines like other hard baby carriers which place pressure on your baby’s pelvis

8. holds your baby high -the fabric bounces back unlike the t-shirt like material of other stretchy baby wraps to keep your baby snug against your chest

9. durable -sturdy fabric that doesn’t stretch out or change shape with repeated washing or babywearing

10. feels soft on your baby’s skin

11. adjustable -just enough give so that there is no need for readjusting

12. much more snug than carrying a car seat* or other bulky carrier

13. secure -no wrinkles, bulges of loose material, or sagging when babywearing

14. grows with you and your baby -it's optimal for infants yet you may continue to carry your baby with this wrap baby carrier as long as you are both comfortable

15. no baby is too small -the baby wrap is designed for the tiniest of babies. See our FAQ page.

16. ideal for kangaroo care - premature infants thrive when wrapped in a Sleepy Wrap

17. one size fits all -adults of all sizes can comfortably wear and share the wrap

18. bilateral -wide straps over both shoulders so that there is no lopsided feeling like with babywearing in a sling

19. no time limit to how long your baby can stay in the wrap -there are no pressure points on mom or baby so you may carry your baby as long as you and your baby are comfortable

20. no digging straps or poking buckles or buttons -simple design

21. evenly distributes the weight of your baby-much more supported than carrying with your arms, on one shoulder, or your hip

22. instructions are included -no extras to buy

23. perfect for traveling -compact and great on uneven terrain or crowded places

24. cleans up nice -wash, tumble dry and go!

25. comfortable -moves with you instead of restricting you

26. affordable- a great value seeing that your baby will probably begin to walk on his own before he outgrows the wrap

27. natural sleep solution -no plastic, no music, no bouncy seat-just you- calming and soothing your baby with your warmth, your voice, your scent, your movement and your heartbeat. There is no more natural way to put your baby to sleep.
