New parents need a baby carrier for their newborn, which can be a fanny pack or sling carrier. Hospitals require an approved car seat for taking the baby home. A sling carrier is recommended by parenting experts and attachment parenting advocates. Different types of carriers are available at varying prices.
The baby has arrived and mum and dad are looking for the perfect baby carrier. A fanny pack can be many things. It can be the “punkin seat” or cradle with handle, often used as a first car seat, and as a carrycot. A baby carrier can also be a harness-like device that helps keep the baby close to the parent’s chest, leaving the hands free.
Most hospitals in the United States will not allow parents to take a child home without an approved car seat already in the car. This booster seat can be a grow-with-child type of seat that has extra padding for the child’s head, or it can be a punkin’ baby carrier/seat.
Many parenting books and parenting experts advise new parents to purchase a sling carrier. They feel that a newborn is more relaxed and happier when he is snuggled up to his mother and able to hear her heartbeat. These fabric carriers support the baby’s head and allow the mother to cuddle the newborn and still carry out many daily activities.
The attachment parenting school of thought, in fact, advises parents to keep the baby in the pouch, close to the body, for most of the day. This philosophy says that the child will be happier, more confident and less prone to stress and anxiety disorders later in life by being “worn out” most of the time, as children are in many Asian and Eastern cultures.
The carrier can be worn with the baby facing the mother, facing out – popular with very active babies – or worn on the mother’s back, like a papoose. Older babies are often placed in the rear carrier, while the mum- or dad-facing sling is the most popular for newborns.
Many different types of fanny packs are available in stores and online. They range in price from $50 to $150 US Dollars (USD) and can be even more expensive, depending on the brand and features. A sling carrier allows both parents to bond and care for their baby effectively and safely.
