The Tushabby Hip Carrier

As your baby grows, things get a bit trickier. Life goes on; you have things to do, places to go, and maybe even other children who also need your time and attention.

Wearing your older baby in the Tushbaby hip carrier provides a way to carry on with your daily life while keeping your baby close to you.

Many cultures and tribes throughout the world have been wearing their babies for centuries. It's not a new practice. Dr. William Sears, well known for his attachment parenting style, advises parents to wear their babies instead of wheeling them. He and his wife Martha are the people who came up with the term "babywearing."

Wearing your baby has a way of changing your mindset about what babies are like in reality. You realize that when your baby is close to you, they are content.

Baby Wearing Benefits

• Crying spells are less frequent. There is a direct correlation between the time a baby spends being held/carried/worn and the time they spend crying. They are calmer, more content, less demanding and happier overall when being held.
• Psychologists and anthropologists who have studied the behaviour of mothers and babies who are always together have learned that they shape each other's behaviour. Mothers are more responsive to their babies needs, and babies are reassured and comforted as soon as they need it.
• Quiet and alert babies learn better. They are in an ideal state to interact with people and the world around them. There is an educational advantage because they can observe daily life from a place where they feel secure. Being worn, they can study facial expressions and learn language and body language faster.
• Motion is essential to a baby. It stimulates the vestibular system, which is the part of the inner ear that controls balance; this helps to improve muscle tone, necessary for motor development, brain development, and gastrointestinal and lung health.
• Contrary to belief, these babies become independent sooner. You can NOT spoil a child by holding or carrying them 'too much'!!
• Knowing you are close by is sometimes all a baby wants and needs. Babywearing is the perfect aid to provide closeness and allow you to carry on with normal daily life. They are soothed by the rhythms of your walking, by hearing your heartbeat and your breathing.
• The best babywearing benefit for you is that it makes your life so much easier!
• No bulky strollers to make your way through crowds or shopping isles. You can go places you wouldn't be able to with a stroller.

If you want to carry your newborn read more about babywearing. You can nurse your little baby using the Tushbaby hip carrier, but for the first four months, it's best to carry them in a sling. Once they hit that milestone, you can switch to the Tushbaby for carrying them around.

Hip Seat Baby Carrier Safety

• The most crucial baby-wearing safety rule is never to use a carrier in the car. It is not a car seat!
• Only wear babies who are cooperative. A wiggling child is at risk of falling out and getting hurt.
• When your carrier needs to be clipped in, make sure you do it correctly and securely, as instructed.
• Be aware of tripping hazards so you won't fall with your baby. Remember, your center of gravity changes, so you could easily lose your balance. You can regain your balance so that you don't fall onto your child, but it's always good to be aware of this.
• Remember to give yourself more time to move around so that you don't bump your baby into counters, doorways, and walls.
• Keep an arm's length away from potential hazards. Babies can reach for and grab things that could hurt them.
• It is also best to never drink hot drinks, cook or use sharp objects like knives while wearing your baby.
• Inspect your baby carrier regularly for damage or signs of wear from time to time.
