The term “baby wearing” was recently coined by the pediatrician, Doctor William Sears to describe parents that “wear” their babies with the help of a baby backpack or other type of baby carrier. While baby wearing is a relatively new term, the practice is ancient. Parents have been wearing their babies in some form or fashion for as long as there have been babies to hold. You have undoubtedly heard people say that a baby that’s held is a happy baby and there’s a good reason for this statement.

Babies have a strong need to be held immediately after birth. This makes perfect sense when you consider the fact that they’ve been comfortably held for nine months in their mother’s womb, being gently rocked by their mother’s movements. Holding a baby is important because it helps them feel safe and promotes bonding. When a baby is held, it replicates the feeling of being in the womb, which helps them adjust to the strange new world they’ve just entered.

When it comes to choosing a Baby Backpack for your infant, there are many different styles and options. The Bushbaby Lite is designed with your baby’s comfort in mind. It includes a sleep cushion along with a protective sun canopy that can fold flat and be stored in the base of the backpack. The Lascal Carrier is a revolution when it comes to infant carriers. This carrier is not only comfortable both for baby and for parent, but its built in back support will ensure that your baby’s developing spine is straight at all times.

When you use a Baby backpack it actually helps to promote the physical development of your baby. Natural movement helps with a baby’s vestibular system and helps them to learn about balance. Soft carriers like the Vaude Baby Carrier keeps a lot of the pressure off of a baby’s head, which is still very soft and vulnerable to hard surfaces.

It has been shown that carrying your baby, whether you’re doing chores around the house or are out running errands, helps to promote healthy hip development. Using a baby carrier is also a great way for father’s and other caregivers to bond with new infants while at the same time giving new mums a much needed break.

Using a baby backpack also helps to keep infants safe while you and your family are out and about. Whether shopping or enjoying a day in the park, your infant will be held securely in the backpack, allowing your hands to be free. Utilizing a baby carrier is also beneficial if you have other children to take care of. These backpacks allow you to meet the needs of the new baby while still allowing you to do all the other things around the house that need to get done.
