The benefits of carrying your baby

Must need for moms to be: the baby carrier. We list 5 benefits of carrying your baby

From the womb to the big outside world is quite a transition for a baby: from a safe, warm and secure place, your baby ends up in a big, noisy and cold place. Being close to mom is of course the best thing there is. That's why, as a newborn mom, you can't really do without a baby carrier. Belly to belly, your little one can quietly get used to the transition. And so there are many more advantages of carrying your baby in a baby carrier. Come they:

The safest place on earth You give your baby the same security in the baby carrier as when he or she was still in your belly. Your little one is bobbing along to your rhythm again. The beating of your heart lets him fall asleep easily. Being close to you makes your mini feel safe, and the skin-to-skin contact has another great benefit: the cuddling hormone oxytocin produced in the process creates a deep bond between the two of you.

Breastfeeding in the baby carrier? Oh yes! We said it before: the amazing substance oxytocin is produced by skin-to-skin contact and that has a positive effect on breastfeeding too. And did you know that with some practice you can even breastfeed your baby in our Mei Tai baby carrier?

With you close, your baby cries less often Research shows that (newborn) babies cry less often when they are carried often. How is this possible? Easy peasy: in the baby carrier, your baby is always close by. That way you pick up hunger signals faster and your baby doesn't have to start crying for your attention. Also for babies with a lot of cramps or reflux, carrying is a godsend: close to you with raised knees and rocking in the baby carrier is soothing.

Me-time! Doing laundry, folding baby clothes or just a lovely me-time moment with a cup of coffee that hasn't turned into iced coffee... With your baby in the Mei Tai baby carrier you always have your hands free and we think that's one of the biggest advantages of carrying your baby in a baby carrier.
