Babywearing means "wearing - or carrying - your baby attached to you in a soft baby carrier. This practice has been adopted by mothers all over the world for thousands of years. The benefits of prolonged mother-baby contact are considerable: both practical, physical and above all psychological. For both.

Some examples: leaves hands free to take care of other chores or older siblings, facilitates breastfeeding on demand, discourages strangers from approaching and touching the baby, helps with postpartum depression, relieves arm, shoulder and back fatigue, is useful in the development of the baby's back and trunk, reduces crying, colic and gastric reflux, promotes attachment and trust between parents and children, increases stimulation in total safety.

Immediately, with the right technique. That is, in front, baby in fetal position facing towards the bearer's chest. The upright position will help the newborn to control gastric reflux, which is often very painful. Gradually and after a few weeks, you can start
try to make him sit with his legs apart. Without ever trying. Every child reacts and grows differently. All children love contact with their mother or father's body, for them it is necessary. Even premature babies benefit enormously from Babywearing, also called
“Pouch therapy” (carried out after the doctor's favorable opinion). So you can start from birth (full-term pregnancy) and continue up to 18kg and beyond. After around 18 months your baby carrier will become a pocket stroller, when the child is tired of walking and needs a "lift".

No, on the contrary, it helps to regulate it. In fact, the newborn tends to synchronize breathing and heartbeat, on the rhythm of that of the adult.

Keep in mind that the baby's airways must be constantly monitored and kept clear. The danger of suffocation can in fact derive from having blocked them. (eg, pressed against the tissue and/or the wearer, etc.). In the " security" section, more information.

• In MHUG baby carriers the physiological position of the newborn is respected. The well-being of the wearer's back is guaranteed, since the baby's weight is discharged, unlike other baby carriers, over a large surface.
• The structure of the MHUG supports, soft and enveloping, does not compress or press on the baby's spine. The sitting position, and not hanging (as in many baby carriers), allows you to put the weight on the bottom and not on the genitals.
• MHUG baby carriers can be worn in different positions, they don't strain your back and you can use them for years!

Here you can find all the specific information.

Most women who have a normal recovery can use it about 3 weeks after giving birth. Of course you have to use more caution, for example fasten the base higher than the cut and wait a few more days in the presence of discomfort or pain. If difficulties persist 6 weeks after the cesarean, it is advisable to consult your obstetrician or gynecologist.

Certain!

if a parent does not have the opportunity - for various reasons - to know the habits of their baby well, carrying it has significant advantages: if the newborn starts to cry, there is no better way to reassure him than to wrap him tightly against his body to make him feel protected and safe. It is also the best way to create a deep relationship between father and baby . Especially for fathers who, often due to work, are unable to spend much time with their children.

Absolutely yes. One of the advantages of MHUG products is precisely the possibility of breastfeeding anywhere without anyone else noticing. In the MHUG Mei Tai, just lower the baby a little, loosening the knot on the suspenders slightly and fasten the collar. The "open tail" of the MHUG Sling instead turns into a discreet curtain. So you can breastfeed anywhere

Continuous contact with parents is not a vice but a necessity developed over millions of years of evolution. Without this innate sense of attachment human babies would not have survived and our species would have quickly become extinct. Responding to your baby's calls will build his confidence, making him independent without anxiety or stress on both sides.

If your mother-in-law is still not convinced…give her our number or email ;-)

To yourself, first of all. Once you have learned the basics and learned with awareness how to carry your child safely, do not listen to those who have their say (often without foundation) to discourage you. You and your baby enjoy closeness and intimacy, the way only you know how to build, without interference.

No, you're not necessarily doing something wrong... it could just be reacting to the wearer's discomfort, who doesn't feel safe enough. Children absorb our emotions! Not only that, they feel every movement and every muscular tension of the wearer. Or when you start he is already older (he is over 6 months old) and is no longer used to this type of containment). Some tips to get started:

• before placing him in the baby carrier, make sure he is fed, clean and relaxing;
• reassure yourself first with some tests, it will also have positive effects on the baby;
• use dolls or soft toys and have someone help you the first few times you wear it;
• as soon as you put it on, your baby starts moving and, if you can, go out. Newborns love movement (big belly memories!);
• play while he is in the baby carrier, sing if you feel like it: it's a wonderful way to interact with him;
• start with the front position (even if the baby is older). Once you have become familiar with the baby carrier, you can move the baby onto his back.

The ideal position is precisely the vertical one. For these children, babywearing is a real salvation because they can sleep without being continually awakened by acid and painful gastric reflux.

A child who can develop no bond and no trust will always remain anxious and dependent. If a child hasn't received bodily contact, he can't even dissolve the first ties to develop (because only a satisfied need is a left need!). If I don't want to spoil a child and therefore keep him at a distance, he will demand my closeness more vehemently (through desperate crying). It will never again be so easy to give a child contact and security as in very early childhood, i.e. the age he WANTS to be brought to. It doesn't need any further attention, it just wants to be there.

Dr. Gene Anderson, a doctor who has done a lot of research on the kangaroo method, says: “In research done with mothers and premature babies she noticed that the body temperature of both bodies, both that of the baby and that of the mother, immediately they increased. At some point, the mother's temperature decreased and then increased again when the baby also lowered his temperature. The mother therefore acts as a thermostat that regulates the baby's temperature in a natural way."

Assuming that there is no "must", we report what Dr. Anderson indicated: "Carry as much as possible, but even 30 minutes a day has an effect".

We add: as long as you feel comfortable and/or are not tired. (Carrying for a long time can be tiring, especially if you are not trained).

After 9 months curled up in the mother's womb, finding limited space gives newborns a sense of security and containment. In any case, a newborn who is uncomfortable always finds a clear way to make you understand!

Remember to check that the airlines are not blocked, here is all the important information for your safety.

In an MHUG a child feels protected, loved and cared for. During colic, when he puts his first teeth or simply in a moment of crisis there is no better place for him to be. Close to you. And then you can always distract yourself from a better perspective!

“It is not recommended because it forces the baby's back into a non-physiological curve and puts all the weight on the genitals. It is also a disadvantageous position for the bearer because it shifts the center of gravity, putting too much load on the column. In this position, the child cannot seek reassurance by leaning on you and filter external stimuli through your gaze. And he cannot fall asleep peacefully."
