Carrying the child in a sling
Carrying a baby in a sling not only provides a deep bond but is also a true blessing, especially in the transition period between seasons, i.e. in spring and autumn. During these months, temperatures are often unpredictable: cool in the morning, mild at midday and cool again in the evening. It is precisely here that the sling really comes in handy.
InhaltsverzeichnisCloseness and warmth in the transitional period
In a baby sling, the baby is embedded in a kind of ‘climate zone’ thanks to the body heat of the mother or father. If it is still cold in the morning, the baby is warmed naturally – this reduces the risk of getting cold. At the same time, the sling protects against the wind, which is particularly helpful in autumn storms or unstable spring weather. In the afternoon, when it gets warmer, the layer can be adjusted by simply taking off a jumper or changing the carrying position to improve air circulation.

Comfort for the mother: movement and flexibility
Another advantage of babywearing, especially in the transitional period, is the freedom of movement that the sling offers. Compared to a bulky pram, a sling makes it much easier to walk through the rustling autumn leaves or on uneven paths. In addition, you can quickly run errands with a sling without having to constantly keep an eye on the pram. Carrying also has a positive effect on your own well-being. While you have your baby close to you, your hands are free for other tasks. Whether cooking, shopping or simply holding a book in your hand – this flexibility makes life with a baby more relaxed. Many mums report that babywearing makes them feel stronger and more agile overall, which is a real advantage when the change from summer to autumn can put a damper on your mood.
Bonding and security
Skin contact in the sling not only helps the baby to feel secure. This close connection also strengthens the bond between mother and child. Especially in spring and autumn, when colds and changes in the weather are the order of the day, the baby feels safer thanks to the direct proximity. The gentle movements, the rocking when walking, the reassuring heartbeat – all this gives him the feeling of being protected. And you as a mum benefit from this too. When the baby is sleeping peacefully, your own stress levels can drop – the little things in everyday life suddenly become easier.
Natural protection against overstimulation
The transitional months often mean many changes in the environment – brighter colours in autumn, sudden blossoms and new greenery in spring. In the sling, the baby is gently shielded and can absorb the stimuli in a measured way. At the same time, it has the opportunity to turn its face away and calm down in the protected space of the sling. This is easy on your baby’s nervous system and contributes to a balanced mood.

Simple adaptation to temperature changes
In a pram, the baby is often exposed to a constant temperature. In a sling, however, it is always regulated directly by your body heat. Especially in spring and autumn, when temperatures change quickly, this can make a big difference. You don’t have to keep stopping to pack or unpack the baby. A light jacket for you and the baby is automatically warmed. To summarise, babywearing in a sling is a way to make life easier, especially during the seasonal transition.
