From the beginning a supporting role - why fathers are the ideal baby carrier

Young mothers carrying their children in diaper cloth? Not the best solution, says columnist Nils Pickert. In his opinion, fathers are much better suited to this task. For a reasonable reason ...

Fathers should play a major role in the lives of their children. And this applies not only in the matters of education and role model. Especially in the first 6 months of life, wearing your own baby with the help of wearing aids or specially developed cloths offers the opportunity to establish a physical connection. They have their hands free to do other things with them (phoning, caressing, taxiing) and shoulder some of the responsibility with the correct binding technique. You are exactly the right person for that. First of all, your child's mother needs to recover from a physical strain far beyond the burdens of a heavyweight boxing match. If she has gained some strength, both of you will most likely find that your child is much more restless in front of her mother's chest. How come?

Why fathers are the perfect baby carrier

Imagine sitting in front of the computer at home and trying not to mess up your tax return as you did last time. Next to you on the desk is a steaming plate of your favorite dish, which you unfortunately can not eat now. Do you seriously think you will remember how many contributions you should make to child care at the Kind unit? Your child is similar. Because it smells the milk, it gets restless and whiny. So there is more than one good reason for you to carry your child. And if you start early, your chances are very good that your little one quickly gets used to it and feels almost as comfortable with your body as she did in moms. However, there are also children who simply can not make friends with wearing aids. So do not give up so fast, but leave the possibility in the room that it decides against it.

Babies love to be carried

Most children, however, are carrying animals. They expect that they will need a moment to wrap them in their cloth or put them in their baby sack. They love to walk outside in the cold because they are warm and cuddly. And sometimes they only fall asleep when you quickly put on your jacket and walk around the blog with your child instead of a normal bedtime routine.

Carrying children is not a problem - the comments of the environment sometimes

Sometimes it is not easy. Not wearing the kids, but bearing the others. Be prepared for one or the other strange look or pinpoint comment.

I was once allowed to watch a young man at the supermarket counter, bobbing his toes and tails to keep his daughter's sleep tied to his chest with a towel. He buxierte the purchases on the treadmill and tried at the same time the elderly lady who stood behind him to answer their constant demands. If the child gets enough air in the cloth, if it is healthy, if he could answer for it and - yes of course - if the child gets enough air in the cloth. At some point the situation became unbearable for him. Not wearing his little girl was too heavy or too uncomfortable for him, but wearing the adult woman's concerns. The threads of a baby wrap do not tear so easily. Most providers use a specific weaving technique that makes them virtually unbreakable. Patience threads tear much faster - as well as the young man. He turned to the elderly lady and pointed out that she did not need to worry about anything. The child has long suffocated and he has not had the opportunity to unwrap it so far.

You should not go that far. But clearly formulate why you do what you think is right. And a round of the block, of course.
