Babywearing - The Magic Sleepy Dust

Babywearing has so many benefits. From the convenience of having your hands free to get life things done to bonding with your precious new tiny human. 

You may have heard the rumours...that almost as if by magic...babies fall asleep when babywearing

Hallelujah! This is not a myth.

Purely and simply, when all else fails and you need bubs to arrive in the land of nod (like um, now please), despite their every protest...more often than not, babywearing will get the job done.

And there is strong science to support this trickery.

You might hear it referred to as "Magic Sleepy Dust?" so just what is it about babywearing that makes all this magic happen?

Connection plays a huge role.

It's all about nervous system regulation. Put simply, when your baby is tired or distressed their nervous systems become unregulated and as they are not yet able to self-regulate, you become the regulator.  This is such a gift. So how do you do it? It's easier than you think and you do unconsciously and as you become aware of the power of this relationship, the more consciously you do it, the more effective it is.

All you need is your heartbeat, your breath and your gentle swaying rhythm - all of these send a signal of safety to your babe. When a feeling of safety is created, the nervous system can regulate, and the parasympathetic nervous system takes over from that sympathetic nervous system response, and babe enters a 'rest and digest' mode enabling deeper relaxation.
