Ein Baby will getragen sein

What could be more beautiful for babies than closeness and physical contact?

Parents also benefit from this closeness, as it allows them to intuitively respond to their child's needs with great sensitivity. Evelin Kirkilionis explains why carrying is so important from a behavioral biological, evolutionary, and developmental psychological perspective, especially in infancy, and how proper carrying can prevent hip dysplasia and positional plagiocephaly. She outlines what to consider when purchasing a carrier and what to keep in mind during use.
