Why is it good for the baby?
Let’s stick with newborns. A newborn baby’s spine doesn’t have curves yet. These will develop during the course of movement development (lifting head while lying on the stomach, supporting on forearms and then palms). Until the baby has a stable trunk, the “fetal position” is the most ideal for their spine, making them feel safe.
There are numerous benefits to babywearing. Those who practice it know from experience. But what does science say? Have researchers examined the effects of babywearing using scientific methods? The answer: yes!

The many facets of parenthood: everyday challenges, deeper dilemmas, expert advice, and personal experiences to help you navigate what you face as a parent each and every day.
Being with the baby is entirely different through a father’s eyes. It is more difficult since it is not assisted by hormones and bodily senses of pregnancy. And it is easier since there is a way out. When he says he can’t do it, he is clumsy, he is tired, there comes mom and solves the problem.
What happens, when it turns out, that we are only mothers, only human? We are superheroines, mystical entities, full of wonders and endless power, this is not a question. We are embracing, soft arms and kitchen gadgets at the same time. Teachers and cleaners, doctors, nurses, drivers and circus clowns. And still: only human.
I have been learning about attachment parenting for a few years now. And I am quite a promoter of gentle parenting techniques. While I only had one child many people told me that „doing attachment parenting” is probably possible with one but it is not possible with two or more children.
Orthopedic doctors, physiotherapists, experts, and parents share their experiences about the benefits of barefoot soft-soled shoes. Learn how they support healthy development and why proper footwear is so important for young children’s motor development and future posture.
It matters what kind of shoes we put on our baby’s feet. It is essential to choose footwear with a soft, thin, flexible sole that does not slip. At the same time, it should protect the child’s feet from the challenges of the outside world.
The baby’s foot looks completely different from that of adults. It consists of several bones that fuse later on. During the foot development, the muscles gradually strengthen to adapt to changes in bones and joints.
