BENEFITS OF BABYWEARING for parents
1. It fosters the bond.
It strengthens the bond through continuous contact, as the newborn's proximity triggers the release of hormones such as oxytocin and prolactin. It helps combat postpartum depression, since direct contact increases the level of other hormones, such as endorphins.
2. It provides security.
It provides security; babies held close to their bodies feel safer and more confident.
3. It benefits breastfeeding:
It benefits breastfeeding; keeping the baby close causes the mother to secrete oxytocin, which promotes milk coming in and a good establishment of breastfeeding.
BENEFITS OF BABY CARRIERING
1. They cry less
Babies who are carried are calmer and cry less.
2. They sleep better
They sleep better; it has been shown that babies cared for using the kangaroo method gain weight faster and sleep better.
3. Improved psychomotor development
Improved psychomotor development: the constant rocking generates better balance and postural control in children, as their body adapts to our movement.
4. Colic decreases
Colic decreases; carrying the baby in an upright position greatly benefits their digestive system, which is still immature, and facilitates the expulsion of gas.
Babywearing offers parents complete freedom of movement, allowing them to carry out daily tasks, enjoy their free time, and facilitate uncomplicated travel and journeys.
In addition, it helps with the neurological maturation of children, the development of the vestibular system and muscle tone, also contributing to regulating their temperature, breathing and heart rate.
