Carry your baby

October 7th, 2007 by Dr. C. David Excelano

No many cultures, it is usual that the baby is always stuck to her mother. From the rebozo in Mexico until amauti used by the Inuit tribe in Alaska, mothers around the world carry their babies to slopes everywhere. The advantages are many and varied.

At birth, the baby has not yet developed its capabilities brain According to anthropologists, because of limited space pelvic canal, its development should continue in outer space. Like the kangaroos, which are born very tiny marsupial climb up the bag and continue its growth outside its mother, many scientists believe that humans have a similar behavior and that pregnancy lasts actually 18 months: 9 inside and 9 out . Thus, it is only natural that the mother went with her baby close to the heart whenever possible. If, in addition, it is best for the baby and makes life easy for the mother, you can not ask for more.

We know that our society relates often lead to the child in his arms with malcriarlo. We know that our society relates often lead to the child in his arms with malcriarlo. We try to give you the information you need to give back to this topic and your child, rather than mourn for their tomes in the arms, we ask you leave it on the ground. It is also very important that children spend long periods in soil, but always need to scroll or simply notes that when the baby is tired of being on the floor, put it on the strap and continues to do your tasks. As the girl grows want to spend more time away from your arms, which is a luck, because it also weighed more!

Do strap or backpack?
It is quite possible that you will have to try several systems bandoleras or backpacks adapted to different sizes to be your baby. We prefer the bandoleras rather than backpacks, because they are more versatile and not charged while back. You find comfort, ensuring that the weight is well distributed all over his back and shoulder, and that it is easy to put on and adjust to your body. Also the baby to grow, change its position on the strap from lying during the first months as an Indian sitting on your hip. Normally always will have both hands free to, for example, push the stroller for your older child or shopping cart, but provided you agaches, grabs the baby with one hand and prevents sudden movements. Usually I always took my hand just ahead of Marina where just the strap or play with their little hands. At times, thanks to my hand on his back when I carry on my hip, you can lie back safely game that he loves. The strap is always the highest possible, with his arms inside or outside.

Some precautions
Be very careful if you are cooking or something hot shots that could fall on the baby. Ever have eaten with my daughter in the strap, but covering it with a piece of gauze or napkin to prevent food from falling on it. When resting on the strap, I leave gently on the bed and the lid with the same fabric. Keep in mind that a strap can never be a substitute for a sillita car.

Nor note
When Navy had about two months went once a week postpartum classes. Before the class was always at the same bar for breakfast carrying my daughter in the strap. There were no signs anything. When someone lit a cigarette, changing the location because he knew that ignoring the presence of my bebito and wanted to be discreet. One day, he woke up and beat Navy four genuine cries of a baby. Everyone thought he was carrying a bag, not a baby. The wore the chest, but I see, and then calmed down.
