Parents use baby carriers mostly for practicality as it is cheaper than a buggy, quick and convenient to use and allows the parent to have hands free to do other things. However, research has show that it can also encourage a special closeness between mum and baby as it establishes close eye contact.
They, like the Baby Bjorn active carrier for example, hold the child in a comfortable position against the parent whilst providing secure support for the child's spine and hips at the same time. This position makes it easy for mum and dad to keep close contact with the baby.
The Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital published groundbreaking studies in 1970 which showed the importance of eye contact between a child and parent and the emotional closeness this establishes. As a result, parents were encouraged to carry their baby more often increasing the amount of physical contact. Fathers were also encouraged to increase their contact with baby both during the delivery of the baby and in their early months. It is now widely accepted that this closeness, especially in the first six months is very important.
Dr Avroy A Fanaroff, Senior Physician and Spokesman for the Paediatric Department Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital says, "Ever since the 1970s, study after study has shown the importance of early eye-to-eye contact, of close bodily contact between parents and their new-born babies or infants. This kind of contact enables both parents to develop a close intimacy with the young baby that is beneficial for the child's development and the family's bonding."
Baby Bjorn are expert makers of and firmly support this view and encourage parents to carry the child closely as they believe it is soothing for the parent and child alike, as they understand the parent's movement can help calm an anxious child. They also specialises in offering parents a comprehensive range of baby baths to meet the needs of parents and their baby bathing requirements.
Their baby carriers are designed to be carried on the stomach which means that the infant is turned towards mum or dad during the first few months, and hence retains the physical closeness with the parent. Eye contact and the parent's bodily warmth helps the child adapt to life outside the womb.
The Babybjorn Baby Carrier Active is a popular baby carrier as it has a sturdy design which allows the parent to carry heavier children for longer. The comfortable lumbar support and the wide, padded shoulder straps provides an even weight distribution, allowing parental comfort as well as comfort for baby. The baby carrier provides excellent support for the child's back and head, making sure their legs and arms are in a physiologically correct position at all times.
