Babywearing in the Times of Corona Virus

With all the measures already taken by the parents in order to protect themselves and their children from coronavirus, babywearing parents can enjoy few added bonuses.

Benefits of Babywearing

Babies, and humans in general, need to be touched in a loving, reassuring, comforting way. Full-on attachment is probably ideal, in a perfect world – but don’t beat yourself up if you can’t. It’s not a perfect world… Nevertheless, you don’t necessarily need to follow an “all or nothing” approach. You can still carry your baby as often as you can and as much as you feel like in your personal circumstances to feel lots of real benefits.
