Carrying in everyday life – household chores, siblings and other challenges
Why a baby wrap makes your everyday life easier. Daily life with a baby can be challenging – especially when you’re also managing a household or looking after siblings. A baby wrap gives you the freedom to get things done while your baby stays safe and secure with you. But how can you optimally integrate babywearing into your daily routine? Here you’ll get helpful tips!

Safety comes first
Make sure you don’t perform any dangerous activities while your baby is in the wrap. Sharp objects, hot water, or bending over too much can be risky. Instead, activities like these are suitable:
- Hanging laundry
- Dusting
- Light tidying up
Ergonomic carrying
A well-tied baby wrap relieves your back and ensures your baby sits comfortably. Make sure the weight is well distributed and you can move without restrictions.

Make it easy for yourself
Divide your tasks into small, manageable sections. For example, use a baby wrap with a simple tying technique so you can put it on and take it off quickly if your baby wants to sleep in between activities.
Looking after siblings while carrying baby
More attention for older children
When your baby is secure in the wrap, you can engage intensively with your older children. Whether playing, reading or crafting – your baby feels your closeness while you give valuable attention to the older ones.
Flexibility in everyday life
Babywearing makes it easier to be out and about with multiple children. When visiting the playground, on the way to daycare, or while shopping, you have your hands free to hold your sibling’s hand.
Creating shared rituals
Use the carrying time consciously to do justice to all children. A short bedtime story with the baby in the wrap or listening to music together can be enriching for everyone.

Mind your posture
A consistently incorrectly tied baby wrap can lead to tension. Small stretching exercises and changing carrying positions will relieve your body.
Plan for breaks
Even though the baby wrap makes many things easier, you should consciously take breaks. Occasionally let your baby lie on a safe surface so you can rest briefly.
