Best Baby Carrier For Newborns
Baby and child carriers have become increasingly popular over the past ten years or so. Baby Backpacks and slings offer a convenient and comfortable way to transport infants in an ever more crowded environment. Parents have more leisure time than previous generations enjoyed. They want to be able to enjoy their pastimes with their offspring. Lightweight baby carriers make this easy. There are many styles of infant carrier available. Their features need to be examined carefully when looking for the best baby carrier for newborns.
Factors to be considered are that the carrier must:
Provide adequate support for baby’s head. A newborn is unable to support his/her head. Support must always be given to the head when lifting or carrying a newborn baby. For this reason a sling or front carried baby pouch is generally preferable to a backpack.
Provide proper alignment of baby’s hips and spine. When a baby is still too young to sit unaided, it is important to ensure that the hip joints and spine are properly aligned. If your baby is forced into an unnatural position, permanent damage can be caused. Look for a carrier that gives the right kind of support to baby’s back.
Not cause baby or parent to become too hot for comfort. If yours is a summer baby, this is an important point to consider. Check the fabric details of any carrier you consider buying. Natural fibers are best as they allow air to circulate.
Feel generally comfortable and secure to the wearer. You can get an idea of what sort of baby carrier you would like by talking to other parents and checking online reviews and forums. But the final test is whether the carrier feels comfortable and safe to you. You won’t be relaxed if you are constantly worried that your sling fastening will come undone.
Some of the options to be considered are:
Simple baby slings. These are great for newborns. You can carry baby close to your chest where the familiar sound of your heartbeat will soothe the child.
Baby wraps. Wraps are a bit more complicated to us than slings but are worth the effort. They are great for newborns especially as they enable discreet breast-feeding to take place.
Baby pouches. These are a variation on the simple sling. They are easier to put on than a sling or a wrap.
Front carriers. These are a little more structured than slings or wraps, and are easier to put on. Some front carriers are suitable for newborns. Newborn babies should be carried facing the wearer. Babies of six months or over can be carried facing outward in a front carrier.
Baby backpack carriers. Backpacks are more suitable for babies of six months or more. However some backpacks have an insert to enable you to use them with younger infants.
When choosing the best baby carrier for your newborn, your lifestyle should be taken into account. For instance: when will you use the carrier? If you plan to adopt a regime where you carry your baby with you all day, a sling or wrap might be the most suitable. If you plan to use the carrier just for short shopping trips, a baby pouch or front carrier would probably be better as they are easier and quicker to put on and take off.
