Dads with babywearing slings

Babywearing for dads: Why the sling is not just for mums

Babywearing in a sling has long been known as a ‘thing’ for mums, but more and more dads are discovering the benefits of babywearing for themselves. In this blog post, we share inspiring stories from dads who have discovered babywearing for themselves and how it has strengthened their relationship with their baby. We also give practical tips on how fathers can carry efficiently.

Why is babywearing important for fathers?

Babywearing in a sling offers fathers the opportunity to bond with their baby and take an active role in caring for them. It allows fathers to enjoy the closeness and intimacy with their baby that may otherwise seem reserved for mums. Babywearing allows fathers to get to know their baby’s needs better and build a strong emotional connection.

Tips for fathers to carry their babies safely:

1. choose the right carrier: there are many different types of carriers and slings on the market. Try out different ones to find the one that suits you and your baby best.

2. learn the right technique: watch tutorials or ask experienced babywearing counsellors to show you how to tie the sling correctly and carry your baby safely and comfortably.

3. start slowly: If you are new to babywearing, start slowly and practise indoors first before venturing outside. This way you and your baby can slowly get used to babywearing.

4. take time for babywearing: Use babywearing not only as a practical solution, but also as a conscious time to build a close bond with your baby. Enjoy the closeness and the moments together by consciously interacting with your baby.

5 Have faith: Trust that as a dad, you can do babywearing just as well as a mum. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about building a loving and supportive relationship with your baby.
