CARRYING ON THE BACK
From a physiological point of view there is no reason why even the smallest babies cannot
be worn on the back. Mothers in many tribal societies wear babies almost exclusively on their
back. However, when wearing the baby on the back we have less information about the child‘s
comfort, and we cannot reach for the pacifier or the hat ... Mostly we start wearing babies on
the back when they can already sit by themselves and are a little more self-sufficient.
