Baby Carriers Come in a Range of Varieties!
What Type of Carrier Suits You and Your Baby?
Baby carriers are comfortable and personal ways to carry your baby as he/she is snuggled close to your breast. An infant loves to be nestled close to a parent to simulate the snugness of the womb and to feel loved and secure.
There are three main types of carriers for babies on the market and each one has different advantages. You can choose to carry the infant in a carrier in the front or on the hip or a baby that is a bit older on your back, similar to a backpack. The baby sling is another type of baby carrier that mothers like to use.
Hands Free
Baby slings are wonderful for carrying the baby around the house. You don't have to keep it just for going outside or to the supermarket. Many babies are colicky and one of the parents needs to carry the baby so that it will sleep.
Using a sling or a front carrier lets you take care of the baby and snuggle it while you still have your hands free to do other tasks.
Advantages of baby carriers.
The advantages of each type of carrier for your baby are:
- Baby Sling: This carrier is very versatile because it is made from a triangular piece of material. Cotton is the preferred material because it is soft and does not have any irritants that will chafe either the baby's or your skin. You can also get a padded sling or a wraparound sling, but whichever one you choose, it is the cheapest of the carriers.
- Front Infant Carrier: this carrier has straps that go over the parent's shoulders and around the back. This forms a pouchlike sack to fit the baby in. The infant can face you or face outward.
- Back Infant Carrier: The carrier for carrying the baby on your back. It works just like an ordinary backpack, but is not made of the same material, of course. The straps go over your shoulders and around your waist allowing the baby to rest up against your back.
