Why is babywearing so important for babies and parents?
Every baby has a basic need for physical closeness and security. Newborns therefore feel insecure when they are lying alone in a stroller or a baby bed and cannot feel or perceive their parents. If you have your baby in a carrier, you are fulfilling this basic need - your baby hears, feels and smells you, which has been proven to have a positive effect on the overall physical, motor and mental development.
Here are some other reasons for carrying your baby:
- Stimulating movements
Many newborns suffer from flatulence and digestive problems in the first few weeks. The natural movements in the carrier create a gentle massage effect. Together with the warmth, this can significantly reduce pain. - Gentle Calming
Many babies find it much easier to fall asleep in a carrier. Newborns who cry a lot in particular can find peace while being carried. - Healthy hip development
Bones and joints are still very soft and malleable in the first few months of life. A hip-healthy baby carrier naturally supports your baby's hip health and, when adjusted correctly, can help prevent misalignment.
There are also many advantages for you as a mom or dad to have your baby in a carrier. You can take your baby with you everywhere and go shopping or even hiking with it. Your hands are always free - even if a sibling needs you, for example. Through close contact from the start, you get to know your baby's needs better and understand much more quickly what your child needs at any given moment.
At what age can you put a baby in a carrier?
Babies can be carried in a baby carrier from birth and weigh 3 kilograms. It is best to speak to your pediatrician beforehand and make sure that there is nothing against it. It is important that you choose a baby carrier that is suitable for newborns and has a newborn reduction. There are also a few things to consider in order to be able to hold a newborn correctly. It is best to get advice on carrying your baby beforehand so that your baby can feel comfortable from the start.
How long can my baby stay in the carrier?
Basically, as long as your baby feels comfortable in it and you can still hold the weight well and safely. Our sandiia carriers are made from a woven jacquard sling fabric that can hold your baby safely for a long time. Many of our carriers are designed to hold up to 15 kilos. This means that even small children can still enjoy the special closeness of their parents with the Toddler Carrier . In our online carrier advice we are happy to recommend suitable products.

Carrying your baby correctly: How important it is for hip health
Carrying your baby not only promotes your emotional connection and makes everyday life easier - it also plays an important role in the healthy development of the hips. Especially in the first few months of life, the correct posture of the baby is very important in order to avoid hip misalignment and to support optimal development of the hip joints. The so-called squat-spread position, also known as the M-position , is recommended.
In this position, the baby's legs are slightly spread and crouched so that the knees are higher than the bottom and the thighs are at a right angle to the body. This position optimally shapes the hip sockets and can therefore reduce the risk of hip dysplasia (misalignment of the hip).
What are the best baby carrying positions?
Not only is choosing a good baby carrier important, but also the right carrying position for your baby. Which position is best depends on the age, size and stage of development of your baby. The most popular carrying positions include carrying the baby on your stomach or on your back.
Carrying your baby in front of your stomach: this is important
Especially in the first few months of life, you should always carry your baby in front of your stomach. On the one hand, this supports the squat position and on the other hand, your baby is turned away from the many stimuli that are taking place in the world around it. This way, you can always keep an eye on your baby. Your baby also feels your heartbeat and breathing rhythm and therefore feels as safe as in the womb. This position is also particularly suitable for breastfeeding on the go.
Carrying the baby on your back
When can you carry a baby on your back? Questions like these are best answered individually during a babywearing consultation. In this position, the baby sits on the back of the person carrying it, similar to a backpack. Carrying on the back is not suitable for newborns because the baby must be able to hold its head securely and on its own. Our babywearing consultants generally only recommend this carrying position when the baby can already sit up on its own.
Then this position has many advantages. Your child's weight is evenly distributed, which is particularly beneficial if you are carrying it for a longer period of time. This position is easy on your shoulders and back. In addition, your baby can now perceive a lot more and is curious about what is going on around it. You can move even more flexibly and have your hands free to go shopping or do housework. Putting on a back carrier takes some practice. Here, too, the baby carrier consultant can give you valuable tips for everyday life.
Sitting with a baby carrier: is it possible?
In principle, it is possible to sit with a baby carrier without any problems. It is also important here that you carry your baby in the correct position. When carrying your baby on your front or in the spread-squat position, it is important that your baby does not sit too low or too high. The bottom should be at or just above your hip area so that it does not sit uncomfortably on your lap.
Sitting with a baby on your back can feel a little more uncomfortable as your child gets older and heavier. Make sure your baby is not sitting too low on your back. If you are sitting for longer periods, such as on train journeys, it is better to take your baby off your back and place him or her on your lap, for example. Our babywearing advice service will be happy to help you here too.
Putting the baby down from the carrier: how to do it correctly
In the baby carrier consultation you will receive practical tips for using the baby carrier in everyday life. Many parents are unsure how to take their baby out of the carrier and put it down correctly. Newborns often fall asleep in the carrier and can then be taken out while sleeping and put into the baby's bed with a few tricks and tips. With a little practice you will be able to put your baby down without waking it or losing the ergonomic position.
It is important that you carry out all movements calmly. Hold your baby close to you for as long as possible while you undo the buckles on the carrier. Secure your baby with both hands and bend down with your baby to the sleeping surface. If possible, lay small babies down in the squat position so that they can continue to sleep in this position.
