3 Reasons Why Your Baby Sleeps Better in a Carrier Than in Bed

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Babies are programmed to seek closeness – after all, they spent nine months safe and warm in mom’s belly. In a carrier, they feel the heartbeat, body warmth, and breathing movements of their parent. These familiar stimuli help the baby calm down and fall into a deep sleep. In bed, however, this physical closeness is often missing, which can lead to restlessness or feelings of insecurity.

Movement calms and facilitates falling asleep

Baby wrap falling asleep

The gentle movements of the carrier – whether walking, rocking, or even light work – have a calming effect on the baby. These rhythmic movements remind them of their time in the womb, where the baby was rocked with every movement of the mother. Many babies fall asleep faster and more peacefully in a carrier because the movement gives them a sense of security and familiarity.

Comfortable body position for better sleep

Good body posture baby wrap

In a carrier, the baby is often in an ergonomically ideal position – with a slightly rounded back and tucked legs. This posture not only supports healthy development but is also particularly comfortable for the baby. In bed, it can sometimes be difficult to find an optimal sleeping position, especially for very small babies who are still used to the snugness and security of being carried.

Security and closeness promote relaxation
