Baby Carrier is natural to use! Natural fabrics and a practice of carrying our babies which has existed for thousands of years.
Baby will LOVE ❤ being carried in a baby carrier ❤. Your baby will love being close to you, where they feel familiar and safe. Babies develop by reading the faces of those they have attachments to, they also have a very short field of vision, being closer to your face means they can see you and pick up your facial expressions easily.
Baby Carrier is a safe, natural carrying postition, much better than a chair! If baby does have a hip condition The International Hip Dysplasia Institute recommends carrying them in a deep seated  shape which promotes a natural open hip position, optimum for development and preventing the rubbing that can occur in the hip joint with legs straight.
A Baby carrier spreads the weight, so much better for you & your back! Carrying in a good quality baby carrier spreads baby's weight through your core and means you aren't straining one part of your body. It takes six times less energy to carry in a baby carrier than it does to carry in your arms.
Good for dad. Being close to the baby can help daddy to bond with your new baby.
Baby carrier can access all areas. There are some places prams just can't go. Using a baby carrier allows you to keep your hands free to take your fur baby for a walk.

The Style of Baby Carrier or Baby Sling For You

A stretchy wrap is suitable from birth. These are made of around five metres of material and can be pre-tied ready to pop baby in when you're ready. Can be used all day, taking the baby in and out as required for feeds and nappy changes.
A ring sling is a quick and simple baby carrier to use. Once you have adjusted your sling to fit you and baby you only need to make tiny adjustments each time you use it.
A buckled baby carrier can be used from birth depending on type. Some have inserts, some can be adjusted to fit a newborn. Look for an ergonomic baby carrier that can support your child in a deep-seated M shape with the carrier extending from knee-to-knee for optimal comfort for you both.
Woven baby wraps are the most open-ended baby carrier option. Essentially long pieces of woven material, these woven baby wraps are moldable to both you and baby. Depending on how you tie them you can carry your baby on your chest, hip or back.

With the best baby carriers, you can enjoy carrying your baby close, whichever type you choose. This makes a wonderful gift for a new mum and baby.
