baby carriers/slings
Why do baby carriers work?
After 9 months of warmth, movement & constant contact in the womb, birth is a huge transition & babies need a great deal of close contact with their parent.
Safe & secure
A baby feels safe & secure in a babysling. They feel their parent's body warmth, hears their mother's voice & heartbeat. A baby recognises their mother's scent & can maintain constant direct eye contact with her.
Babies cry less
Research indicates that babies who are carried on a daily basis cry less because they are fully involved in what their parent is doing.
Stimulates balanced development
Babies absorb a huge amount of stimulus around them in a short amount of time - by being close to their parent in a sling, babies feel less anxious about the world around them.
For Dads
Dads can actively develop a closer bond with their baby by regularly carrying them in a sling. Baby naturally feels closer to them.
Carrying safely & comfortably
With the Babylonia range of slings, you can carry your baby both lying-down & upright. During the first few months, your baby comfortably lies against you in the natural foetal position. Baby's back, neck & head are not weighted down but are supported. From approximately 3 months, baby can be carried sitting upright with with their legs spread & a rounded back. This is an ideal position for the development of healthy hip joints.
