Royal College of Midwives
BabyBjorn has produced, in conjection with The Royal College of Midwives, The Guide to Carrying Babies.
Dr. Sarah Brewer (UK)
‘A baby carrier is great for early bonding. It helps infants settle quickly and easily as they snuggle up close to a parent's warmth and smell. Hearing mum or dad's heartbeat helps them feel secure, while the upright position discourages gastric reflux.’
Dr Philippa Ridley (UK)
‘Using baby carriers allows baby to enjoy your warmth, familiar smell and the comfort of hearing your heartbeat. This promotes closeness and bonding and the gentle motion as you walk about can settle baby more easily. Some parents of babies with colic find it particularly useful in those early months.’
