Carrying your baby is easy if you follow the key points!? Tips on how to carry him well and recommendations for using a baby carrier

Carrying your baby is easy if you follow the key points. We'll introduce you to the basics of cuddling, including tips on how to hold your pet well and things to be careful of.

What is the correct way to hold her?

There are a few tricks you need to follow when holding your baby, such as placing your hands in the right place.
It is especially important to properly support the baby's neck and head, as they cannot support their head on their own before they can sit upright. Pick it up carefully so as not to injure yourself or put stress on its body.

If you are holding your baby vertically, first move around to the baby's feet and lean forward so that you are facing the baby from the front.
Place one hand under the back of your head to support your neck and head, and the other hand under your buttocks. Hold your baby up by pulling them close to your chest, then slide your hand on the baby's hip to the side, squeezing the baby's armpit, and support the baby's butt with your arm.
Vertical hugging, also known as ``koala hugging.'' The correct shape is to hug mom and dad's body, like a koala clinging to a tree.

Side-carrying is a holding method that is often used from the newborn stage, such as when breastfeeding. Hold your baby from right next to you.
Before holding your baby, prepare by placing your baby's hands in front of your body and crossing your legs. This is to prevent unexpected injuries from getting caught or caught in mom and dad's bodies.
When you're ready, use the hand on the side of your baby's feet to lift your baby's head slightly, and insert your other hand deeper into the baby's head. After supporting the neck and back of the head with the inside of your elbow, wrap your elbow along the baby's upper body. Move your foot-side hand away from your head, and now place it on the back of your knee. This also supports the back of the knee with the inside of the elbow, and the part from the elbow is placed around the baby's body.
It's like making a big ring with your arms and wrapping it around your baby.

What are the checkpoints for correct hugging?

Once you are able to hold your baby, check that the baby is in the correct position so as not to put any strain on it.

First, make sure your hands are in front of you and your legs are in an M shape. If your legs are stretched out, you run the risk of dislocating your hip. A cross-legged shape or a shape where the soles of the feet are touching are also OK.
It is not good for the baby's arms to be cramped on either side of the mother's or father's body, or for the baby's arms to hang down on the other side. Keep it comfortably bent in front of your body.

The correct answer is for your back to have a gentle C curve. If it is stretched out or curved, it will put a lot of strain on you and make you tired, so you need to be careful.
Additionally, if your head is tilted backwards, it can not only hurt your neck, but it can also narrow your airways and affect your breathing. Make sure to support your neck and head and avoid lifting your chin.

It is also important to make sure that the baby's body is not twisted and that the bodies of mom and dad are in close contact with each other. If the position of the baby's head and bottom is not in a straight line, or if the position is distorted or twisted from side to side, it will put strain on the baby's body.
Also, if mom and dad are separated, the baby becomes unstable and unsafe, and the baby is more likely to feel the weight of the baby, increasing the burden on mom and dad. Tighten your arms, relax, and hold your baby close to your body.

Can you maintain the correct posture with a baby carrier?

A baby carrier is convenient because it reduces the burden of weight and makes it easier to do housework by freeing up both hands, but it also helps to create the correct hugging posture.

BABY&Me's baby carrier ``BELK-S first set'' is recommended as it can be used from the newborn stage and can be used for a long time until the baby reaches the age of 4 when the baby weighs 20 kg.

The BELK-S first set includes a carrier part that wraps around the baby's body, a waist belt-type first part that gently supports the baby's bottom, and a hip seat.
The carrier parts have a "head support" that firmly supports the neck, so it can be used for holding newborn babies vertically. The first part allows you to adjust the crotch width, and by placing your baby's butt completely into the three-dimensional "butt spot" that is created when making the small size, you can create a natural M-shaped leg posture.

 

A baby carrier that allows you to hold your baby in the correct position is great for moms and dads who are new to baby carriers, but if it's easy to put on and take off, it'll make it even easier.

The hip seat, one of the parts of the BELK-S first set, can be used alone, and is useful for supporting newborn babies when they are holding their baby sideways, and when they are starting to walk, where they often need to hold their baby. Just wrap it around your waist and fasten the buckle, making it quick and convenient to wear.

To carry your child in the hip seat carrier, simply sit your child on the pedestal, place the shoulder straps on the carrier parts over both shoulders, and then fasten the buckles on the left and right shoulder straps. It's easy to put on, just like carrying a backpack, so even dads who don't like baby carriers can carry it easily. You can put it on and take it off in just 3 steps, so it's easy to switch from holding it face-to-face to holding it facing forward. Once your baby is around 7 months old and can sit up, we recommend using a hip seat carrier.

Are you worried about warping?

Your baby may straighten his back or arch his back when you hold him. You may feel stiffness in your legs or twist your body. You may be surprised at how powerful it is.

There are several reasons why a baby turns back, and one of them is to express that he or she doesn't like being held. If your dog doesn't like being held horizontally, you may find it calming down by changing the way you hold him, such as holding him vertically or holding him face-to-face.

It may also be caused by tense and stiff back muscles. If your baby is laid on a flat surface or his back is stretched out when you hold him, he is more likely to become stiff. Be careful to always maintain a natural C curve.

In rare cases, severe warping may be caused by a disease, but since the warping itself is a natural reaction, it is difficult to determine whether or not an examination is necessary. If you have any concerns, such as finding it difficult to hold your pet or take care of them on a daily basis, it may be a good idea to consult your family doctor.

Is “I have a habit of hugging” a lie?

If you hold your baby too much, they will develop a habit of holding you, and if you repeatedly hold them when they cry, they will develop a habit of holding you...so it's better not to hold them too much. You may have been told something like that.
However, recently, the mainstream idea is to be proactive about physical contact such as hugging.

Holding your baby gives them a sense of security. There is a lot of research data that reports positive effects on children's development, such as creating a sense of trust between mothers, fathers, and other people who hold them, and promoting emotional stability and independence.

For babies who have difficulty changing their positions on their own, being held may be easier or more comfortable than sleeping. To relieve any discomfort and keep your pet calm, it is a good idea to actively hold them when they ask for it.
If you are busy with housework and don't have time, you can use a baby carrier to hold your baby while doing so. For babies who cannot speak yet, ``holding'' is an important form of communication. Please hold your baby a lot and feel the changes in your baby every day.

With this one product, you can comfortably hold your baby from newborn to graduation.♪
