What are some of the benefits of babywearing?

👋 Hey! I’m Brittany @informed.mommy
This week I teamed up with my friend Karla to share some of our favorite benefits of babywearing! Go give her a follow @thebabywearingclub for some amazing babywearing tips and tutorials! 💕

One of my favorite reasons to babywear is for the convenience. It’s Hands-Free! This is great for moms of multiples, helpful for getting things done around the house, or for outings and walks! But there are so many other great benefits to wearing your baby as well!

✨ It helps with cognitive and social development. They get to see what you see and get to be involved in your daily activities. The increased exposure and stimuli is great for your little ones!

✨ Decreases risk of Postpartum Depression

✨ Great for fussy or colicky babies who don’t like to be put down

✨ Helps regulate baby’s nervous, circulatory and respiratory systems.

✨ Calmer babies because carried babies cry less

✨ Freedom to go places where a stroller can’t

✨ Builds confidence in parents - when we are wearing our babies we are more in tune with their needs!

When deciding on a wrap or carrier, try out a few different types! Ask friends to borrow one or visit a lending library to see what fits your needs.

And it’s okay to have more than one carrier! (It’s actually extremely beneficial because some carriers work better for different uses!)

Leave a comment below with YOUR favorite carrier or benefits and share with another expecting or new mama! I’d love to hear your thoughts! ♥️

Reposting one of my posts because I’ve been getting this question a lot lately!

Just because we are excited to welcome our baby into this world, doesn’t mean our pups are! Trying to plan ahead for when you bring that bundle of joy home can really help that introduction go smoothly!
⁣
Here are some skills you can start working on now:
⁣
Door Manners: If your dog likes to jump up when you walk in the door, it can really throw you off balance as your belly starts to get bigger, and will be an even bigger deal once you have a newborn in your arms. It’s also a good idea to teach your dog to stay inside if the door is open and not to make a mad dash for the exit!
⁣
Sit and Lay Down: This is a very basic command that most dogs will have mastered… as long as nothing MORE exciting is going on at the same time. Try practicing these commands when your hands are full or with distractions around you!
⁣
Safe Sleep: We love our fur babies, but it’s best if they don’t have access to your newborn while you sleep. If they’re used to sleeping on a bed, now is a great time to move their bed behind a baby gate, in a crate, or even in a separate room.
⁣
Go to your spot/mat: This is great because you can move their spot around as needed! It is perfect for nosey pups during diaper changes (nobody wants a poo covered tail running wild through their home).
⁣
Practice separation: Make sure your furry friends are okay with being separated from you while inside the house. This can be when they are placed behind a baby gate or inside a play pen.
⁣
These amazing tips came from my interview with Michelle at @poochparenting! Check out episode 61 of the Growing Our Family Pregnancy Podcast to learn more about how to have a successful introduction when bringing your newborn home!
