you can always have your child with you
wherever you are (shopping, on the beach, in the
woods, jumble sales, bus, train…). This is not
possible with a pram.
in addition, your requirements for closeness
to your child will be met simply and naturally,
even (and especially) for premature babies.
if you have an older child (or even several)
which also needs his „share of kindness and
affection“ then you always have your hands free
while the baby is in the sling.
Lighter housework (dusting, vacuuming, …)
can also be carried out with your child in the
sling, and you do not have to wait until your child
is sleeping. This means you have a little more
time for yourself and can use the baby’s rest
times for other purposes.
you get to know your own child much better
due to the close contact and quickly recognise
and react to his requirements better. This means
creating a very good foundation for a sense of
basic trust.
When you carry for longer periods, you have
your child near to you and do not overstretch your
arms (you should start with shorter carrying times
so that your back, shoulder and pelvic musculature
can gradually get used to these new movements).
A sling does not take up much space and is
quickly to hand. When, for example, your child is
learning to walk and gets tired after a while, you
can simply put him in the sling. This means that
you can react better to your child and do not
need to spend all your time battling with a pram.
Fathers especially have the chance to build
up an enjoyable and intensive relationship with
their child/children when they are carrying them in
the sling, and to experience and consciously
enjoy the resulting bodily contact.
