Babywearing as a Natural Full-Body Workout
Cooking, showering, working out - in daily life with a baby, you quickly encounter situations where you'd like to put your little one down for a moment. Newborns aren’t usually thrilled with this idea. Firstly because, as you likely know, we are a carrying species meaning our babies are designed to be carried. And secondly, because if they are put down they quickly lose sight of you and this goes against their instincts until a certain age.
