Your young child feels good to be close to you. You pick up your baby when it cries to comfort it. All over the world, parents do the same thing, carrying and cradling their babies to their chests. Instinctively, we recognise that closeness and loving touch are positive. Measurable results from research confirm our feelings. Gentle touch produces a 'calming' hormone (oxytocin) in the body that has many measurable positive effects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Shaping your child for life<\/h3>

    The positive effects of touch affect both you and your child. You yourself are affected for the moment. According to Professor Kerstin Uvn\u00e4s Moberg, a leading researcher in the field, touch shapes your child for the rest of their life. If your child receives a lot of touch as a baby, it affects brain development. The nervous system becomes calmer. Your child becomes less stressed and friendlier as a person.<\/p>

    Physical, mental and social stimulation<\/h3>

    Your child is intellectually stimulated by being carried by you and watching what you do. The sense of balance and muscles are trained thanks to the constant movement. Your child will reach the same level as the adults you meet. From the safety of your arms, it is easy for your curious child to make contact.<\/p>

    More independent children<\/h3>

    Parents who carry a lot have noticed that their children quickly become independent. Take your child in your arms when it needs your closeness. They'll let go as soon as they've had their fill of your security. Now they can explore the world further on their own. Children who get the closeness they need become independent sooner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Other positive effects of carrying children in a baby sling<\/h3>
    • The child gets a good view of the surroundings and the parent and child can do simple things together which stimulates the child, without having to focus too much on the child.<\/li>
    • In addition, the child's sense of balance is trained thanks to constant movement. This can help to promote the child's motor development.<\/li>
    • The baby carrier provides a good social start in life, as the child is brought up to the same level as the adults and can make open contact in safety.<\/li>
    • With the right choice of sling, the adult gets such good relief and posture that the back is trained and becomes stronger instead of wearing it out.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      • Very ergonomic for both wearer and child. The carrier that is usually the one that children between 0-3 months sit \/ lie best in.<\/li>
      • Flexible - you can carry the baby lying down, sitting inwards and outwards, on your hip and on your back.<\/li>
      • It is possible to breastfeed while wearing a sling.<\/li>
      • Provides greater closeness between child and carrier than other carriers. Becomes like a comfortable, safe embrace of the child.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
