Why you Need a Baby Carrier
If you are considering wearing your baby, the right way to do it is by using a baby
carrier. While it is true that baby wearing has been a practice for centuries, not all
women are naturally skilled at the art of putting together their baby carrier.
Traditionally, these carriers were made out of materials available at hand. However, if
the fabric was not right, or the carrier was not properly constructed, or the child was not
properly seated, it could become a potential hazard for the baby inside the carrier,
resulting in problems like hip dysplasia. This is why, it is better to choose a baby carrier
that follows a standard construction, and is made out of quality materials. Most baby
carriers carry with them instructions for properly securing the baby. This eliminates the
possibility of injury or damage occurring due to lack of knowledge or skills in securing
the carriers.

You would need a baby carrier if you are -
- Keen to get back to your normal routine and do not want your child to be restricting your movements or your work.
- Not sure about or not skilled enough to create a baby carrier yourself (which is not recommended either).
- Looking to relax your arms and gaining some much needed rest post delivery.
- Looking to give your child an environment similar to the one the child recently came out of - the womb, so that the child does not feel overwhelmed to see the huge world stretching in front.
