Why Babies Want to Be Carried

From birth, babies crave closeness. Being held or carried helps regulate their breathing, temperature, and heartbeat. It also gives them a sense of safety in a world full of new sights and sounds.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, physical contact and gentle motion can reduce crying and help babies sleep more peacefully. The rhythmic movement of walking, combined with your warmth, is deeply soothing to them.

The Benefits of Babywearing

Babywearing isn’t just about convenience — it’s about connection.

  • Calmer Babies: Research in Pediatrics found that babies who are carried for at least three hours a day cry up to 43% less overall (PubMed).
  • Better Bonding: Proximity increases oxytocin, strengthening the parent-child bond.
  • Healthier Hips: Carriers that hold babies in an ergonomic “M” position support proper hip development (International Hip Dysplasia Institute).
  • Hands-Free Living: Whether making coffee or walking in the park, you stay mobile while your baby rests comfortably against you.
