Storchenwiege Baby slings

Being close to Mom or Dad's body makes the baby feel safe. The familiar cave-like feeling allows it to gently grow into the new life. Carrying fosters trust and bonding. Warmth and movement create a sense of well-being. Muscles and the spine are trained, and the sense of balance is developed. Carried children are often more balanced, as they can participate in family life from a protected position. In a baby carrier, the baby can always assume an optimal posture: legs slightly spread and tucked (the so-called "squat-splay position"), with a rounded back. This was also the position of the baby in the womb, and only in the first year of life does the spine gradually stretch. Proper carrying supports healthy physical development, especially of the spine and hips. Last but not least, carrying is practical – you have both hands free for siblings or to manage daily tasks. Stairs, getting on the bus, or hiking trails are no longer obstacles.
