Why it's important to wear your baby – and how a hip carrier makes it even better

Carrying your baby is one of the most basic, loving and nurturing actions you can take as a parent. Whether you use a baby sling, baby carrier or wrap, your baby will feel secure, close and develop better – while keeping your hands free.

In this article, we go over why babywearing is so important for your child's well-being, how it affects the relationship between you and your child, and why a soft baby carrier – especially a hip carrier – can be the best solution for both your body and everyday life.

Closeness – a biological need for young children

It is no coincidence that children feel best when they are close to their parents. Right from birth, children have a strong need for physical contact. Studies show that children who are carried often cry less, sleep better and develop stronger attachments to their parents.

To use a Babywearing is not only practical, it is also a way to strengthen the relationship and create security. Research shows that babies who were carried for 3 hours a day cried up to 43% less than others.

Carrying promotes the child's development

• Motor skills and balance: Children carried in baby carriers naturally practice balance by following your movements.
• Secure attachment: Closeness increases the secretion of oxytocin, which strengthens the bond between you and your child.
• Regulation of bodily functions: Closeness helps the baby regulate heart rate, breathing, and body temperature – especially important during the first year.

How a hip sling makes your everyday life easier
