Babywearing simply refers to wearing your baby around in a carrier, wrap, sling etc! Wearing your baby is great when you have a baby with acid reflux for several reasons.
- It keeps your baby upright to reduce refluxing
- It comforts your fussy baby
- It can calm your baby when nothing else will- try bouncing, walking, rocking ect My husband often does chores like taking out the garbage wearing an Ergo carrier
!
- It lets you do something else besides carrying your baby and having your arms fall off!!!!!
Some great carriers we have tried are the Ergo Baby Carrier.
This is my husbands favorite. We have the heart2heart infant insert which Finn really likes. He loves to be against your chest. The insert is used up to 25lbs I think. One disadvantage is if you are sharing the Ergo you have to readjust it if you are a different size!
I have tried the Moby Wrap but found it too strechy! It felt like Finn was going to fall out and he was only 10lbs at the time! A friend suggested the wombfruit gauze wrap. It was awesome so secure! It is also very breathable, and lightweight! It packs easy in the diaper bag too!
I also got a linen one from handmade shops it was only $20 a great way to try out babywearing! I love mine! See picture!
Best of all these types of wraps go right in the wash! Great because Finn usually spits up on them!
There are lots of tutorials on the web on how to put these moby type wraps on. It is tricky the first time but after a bit of practice its easy!
