Mama Natural
👶🏼🧡🤱🏻 Here are some benefits of babywearing that you might not know about:
🧠 It aids baby’s development - being worn allows baby to learn more about their environment and interact with the world in a safe and supportive way.

🤱 It supports breastfeeding. Because babywearing can help mamas practice responsive feeding, babywearing babies are more likely to be exclusively breastfeeding at 6 months of age when compared with babies that aren’t worn.
😁 It reduces crying. According to one study, infants who received supplemental carrying cried and fussed 43% less overall, and 51% less during the evening hours.
🩻 It may help baby avoid spinal and cranial deformities. Babies who spend a significant amount of time in car seats, baby swings or other equipment can develop squaring of the cranium or spinal misalignment. Properly carrying baby allows for natural development of cranium, spine, and postural muscles.
❤️ It supports baby’s physiological functions from breathing regulation, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and body temperature.
🙌🏼 It allows mama to be hands-free - whether you’re running errands or doing household chores, babywearing lets you stay productive while keeping your little one close.
👍🏼 It can help reduce reflux - the upright position can ease digestion and make reflux less likely.
💕 It promotes bonding and boosts oxytocin, the love hormone!
Some babies love being worn while others resist 😩 so don’t stress if the practice doesn’t work for you. 💖
