Babywearing has been an essential part of child rearing in many cultures for centuries; in recent decades the practice has grown in popularity in Western cultures as parents have come to realize its many advantages.
Ergonomics is something every parent needs to consider when choosing a baby carrier. Not only do you want your baby to be snuggled up close to you, but you also want to make sure they are correctly supported and positioned in the baby carrier. I can’t stress enough how important it is that your baby’s spine, pelvis and hips are well supported in their baby carrier as well as how the carrier sits on your body. The baby carrier also needs to be something that will be comfortable for both of you, especially if you are wearing a larger baby or even your toddler.
