Why carrying is best for your child
At first glance, strollers may seem like the most practical option. But when it comes to meeting the real needs of babies and their parents, they’re not always the best choice. Babywearing, on the other hand, is a beautiful alternative that offers countless benefits – for both the child and the parent.

A baby who is carried feels the warmth and closeness of their parent. This physical proximity deeply strengthens the bond between the two. The baby hears the heartbeat, recognizes familiar voices, and senses the comforting smell. It’s a space of trust and security – essential for emotional development, especially during the first months. Babies who are carried usually cry less because their needs are recognized and met more quickly.

Supporting Physical Development
Babywearing also supports your baby’s physical development. The ergonomic position in a wrap or carrier promotes healthy alignment of the hips, spine, and head. Unlike lying passively in a stroller, carried babies are actively involved in their surroundings. Their senses are stimulated through movement, touch, and observation – all while being safely held close.
Benefits for Parents: Practical and Everyday-Friendly
Babywearing is a game changer for parents, too. It allows for more freedom of movement and makes everyday life easier. Stairs, narrow shops, or uneven paths become manageable. It also engages the wearer’s core muscles and promotes a more conscious posture – an often-overlooked bonus that makes you feel stronger and more grounded in your body.

Strollers as a Complement: It Doesn’t Have to Be Either-Or
Of course, this doesn’t mean that strollers should be demonized – they have their place and can be helpful in certain situations.

It connects you, strengthens your bond, and offers a kind of closeness that’s truly priceless in our fast-paced world.
Maybe it’s time to leave the stroller behind more often and carry the little wonders in our lives – quite literally – close to our hearts.
