- Babies yearn skin
-
After nine months of warmth, movement and constant contact with mother, birth is a huge transition and babies are in need of a great deal of intimate contact with the parent.
Babies who are carried close to the belly, visibly enjoy this direct physical contact. The cherishing body-to-body contact fulfils a primal and profound need of the baby and offers it an ideal position to discover the world. - Safe and secure
-
In a cotton sling, baby feels safe and secure, it feels the body warmth, hears its mother's voice and heartbeat.
The baby recognises mother's scent and has constant direct eye contact with her. Carrying your baby in a sling undeniable has numerous advantages. - Babies cry less
-
Research indicates that babies who are carried on a daily basic cry significant less.
In a sling, a baby is not forced to passively and awaitingly spend the day, but it participates naturally in the daily activites of the parent. Hence, the baby can observe and hear quite a bite, which is beneficial for its psychological development. When things get a bit too much, the baby simply closes its eyes and falls asleep against the chest of the carrier. - Stimulates balanced development
-
In the security of the sling, baby experciences the world from its safe position. The huge amount of stimuli it has to deal with in a brief period of time do not inspire any fear, because it is so close to the mother. This feeling of security results in the development of a positive self-image and later on, it will form the basis for a confident and assured personality. Contrary to old popular belief, it has become clear that carrying your baby does not lead to overindulgence and dependency, but that it rather accomplishes the opposite.
- And the fathers...
-
In the first few months, it is quite often not easy for the young father to develop an equally close bond with the baby as the mother.
However, with a sling he can undertake things in a very early stage, with the baby safely tucked on his belly. - Carrying safely and comfortable
-
With the Babylonia slings, you can carry your baby both lying-down and upright. And this is unique! The first few months, your baby comfortably lies against you in the natural 'comma' position.
Baby's back, neck and head are not burdened, but supported optimally. As of approximatily three months, the baby can be carried sitting upright. It is then seated on a wide bearing surface, it's legs spread and with a rounded back. This is an ideal position for the development of healty hip joints. Your baby does not hang, but leans relaxedly against you. - Ergonomically sound
-
Ergonomic experts agree that a baby should not be forced into a harness. Carrying harnesses in which a baby is strapped vertically are not good for the baby's back because its head pushes too heavily on the spine at this stage in his life.
In a sling, the baby's back is absolutely not burdened: the baby need not carry himself; it simply leans against the parent, without burdening the back.
A slen is undoubtedly also the most pleasant carrying system for the parent. The wide coton slings covering the entire shoulder surface of the two shoulders, completely divide the baby's weight over the upper part of the body. Neck and back are barely or not burdened. There are no buckles or buttons nothing is too tight or jammed.
