Things your baby carrier can be used for that you haven't thought about
Carrying scarves and large scarves that snuggle in and bend around the body, have been used by people for millennia. Baby carriers have also been used for a long time. Hundreds of years ago, North America's inhabitants designed simple carriers, similar to planks, which they fastened together with small children and carried on their backs. The "modern" variants of the phenomenon began to be manufactured in the 60s in the United States. Today, they are one of the more popular products among parents, especially urban parents, and are almost as common in the western world as the pram.
Najell is proud to have made a contribution to the baby carrier tradition when we released our Najell Baby Carrier, the most beautiful carrier in the market, which is also an ergonomic market leader.
Baby carriers can be used for a wide variety of things. Here we list a few things you (maybe) haven't thought of:
Breastfeeding
Some mothers learn to breastfeed while wearing their baby carrier. The child can easily be "mounted" to the mother's chest and eat "on the go" while the mother is doing something completely different at the same time.
Napping
For whatever reasons, it can sometimes be tricky to get your child to sleep. Especially indoors and especially for the much needed naps. A baby carrier can do the trick. At home, by air, by train. Just by placing the little one in their baby carrier and walking the rocking motion can help the baby get to sleep. It's also super warm and cozy too.
Hiking equipment
If you love nature and spending times outdoors, a baby carrier is great for a hike in the great outdoors. With a good carrier you can already begin hiking with a newborn. They can often sit for a long period of time, in a carrier without feeling uncomfortable or complaining. It's also common for them to take nice long sleeps in the carrier too.
Cozy and Warm
By carrying in a baby carrier you provide your baby with your own body heat. The risk of the child getting cold and suffering from hypothermia is therefore dramatically decreased.
Getting things done
Most people associate carriers with the outdoors and a means of transportation. Actually, one of the main advantages of the carrier is how useful it is at home. Caring for a little baby takes up a lot of time. Therefore, it's golden to be able to buckle in the little one while you vacuum, clean, mow the lawn, or what household chores you need to do.
