Why should I carry my baby?
Great for Breast-feeding
Baby slings, wraps and soft structured baby carriers can provide you with privacy when feeding in public. Many mothers find it a great help to feed baby in a baby sling, wrap or soft structured baby carrier whilst they get on with daily activities!
Having baby close to you in a baby sling, wrap or soft structured baby carrier helps with your milk production. Babies who are carried tend to feed more frequently as they have better access to the breast and mothers can identify better when their baby is hungry. The warmth from your baby’s body and the frequent feeding optimises your milk flow and also helps prevent leakage.
A hungry baby carried in a baby sling, wrap or soft structured baby carrier will nuzzle his mother in search of the nipple (routing), if he is in physical contact, to signal his need. A baby that is placed in a pram or bassinet can only nuzzle an inanimate object and then begin to cry when hunger becomes uncomfortable. Crying produces stress hormones in both mother and baby and can result in a mother who feels inadequate or unable to bond with her baby.
