Babywearing
An act of carrying and caring
Babywearing refers to carrying your baby on your body in a
wrap, sling or baby carrier.
Babywearing enables parents to carry on with some day-to-day activities
while carrying their baby in a hands-free way. This can also be really
comforting for a baby who doesn´t like to be put down.
Babywearing is the act of a parent carrying or wearing a baby in
a sling or baby carrier.
The practice of babywearing is hundreds of years old and is used in many
different countries around the world. An early form of babywearing was
practiced by Inuit women who wore a piece of clothing that had a large
pouch at the back. This garment was called the
amauti and it allowed a baby to sit against the mothers back.
In recent years, babywearing has become
more prevalent in western countries due to the rise of
attachment-style parenting that involves creating a close bond between a
parent and baby through frequent bodily contact.
