Safety and Benefits of Using a Baby Carrier
A study published on PubMed discovered several benefits of babywearing using a carrier. These include reduction of crying, promotion of health through skin-to-skin contact, and assistance with breastfeeding.
When using a carrier, you should place the baby upright and tight enough to avoid accidental falls. Infants should be in view at all times to monitor their breathing and should be close enough so that you can kiss their head.
Keep the baby’s chin off its chest and make sure the infant’s back is supported.
