Baby wearing with a Hug-a-Bub wrap
Less crying, more sleep, reduced colic and reflux are just a few of many baby wearing benefits. Hug-a-Bub®'s unique wrap sling in particular is proven to achieve all benefits in a way other carriers cannot: effective, safe and comfortable.Newborn and Hug-a-Bub
Your newborn feels safe and secure thanks to Hug a Bub's
stretchy soft fabric and its
unique wrap system.
These make the Hug-a-Bub THE best place to be, after the womb, for a
newborn baby:- Baby is kept warm without overheating, thanks to mom's body heat combined with Hug a Bub's ideal breathing fabric.
- Baby is kept in a flexible swaddle, her head
resting near the
familiar sounds of mom's heartbeat and voice (through her chest
cavity).
Notice how high up the baby in the
picture is? That is
the place to be, and it's one of the aspects that make Hug-a-Bub so
unique.
- Baby feels contained
thanks
to being wrapped closely (but not too tightly). This is an often
overlooked need for feeling safe and secure.
When uncontained
a newborn baby has many "startle reflexes": a response that feels like
falling. This reflex occurs when baby does not feel the familiar,
reassuring boundaries she was used to.
Less stress hormones are released when baby feels safe and secure in this way. Less stress means less stress-related problems like colic, acid reflux and excessive crying.
Relaxed and content babies also sleep better than their unhappy, stressed friends.
Commercial babble?
Am I saying all this because I sell these wraps? No, I sell Hug-a-Bub's on this site because they are the best you can find and I want you to know about them.
That is why I share this with
you, and it is also why I offer free shipping
on any order.

Baby, toddler and Hug-a-Bub
A growing up baby or toddler still needs the safety and security as when just born. Happy and relaxed, baby sleeps better, suffers less from colic, reflux, crying and is less prone to teething pain
and other typical baby comforts.
Being able to explore the world, to be a real part of it, to meet people and things, ... while safely carried close to mom or dad is THE confident path towards independence.
Most carriers do not offer the comfort and safety to be able to do this so please be careful.
You and Hug-a-Bub
For you, baby wearing a happy and relaxed baby means:- You feel happy, relaxed and more confident about caring for your baby. And with one of the gorgeous Hug a Bub designs you also look good!
- You can keep an active social and work life.
Hug a Bub's wrap technique makes it comfortable (no-strain no-pain) and
safe for you to carry baby for a longer time (as long as you want or
baby needs). This is not easy or recommended with most carriers.
- High oxytocin and prolactin hormone levels thanks
to the close contact with baby increase feelings of love, connection,
help improve breastfeeding and ... help you sleep well too.
- Reduced symptoms of baby blues. Research supports
that close contact with her baby reduces the risk of post-natal
depression in a mother.
The risk of spoiling by carrying too much is none to worry about. As long as you do it consciously and offer plenty of crib and play mat opportunities as baby grows, you are fine.
Happy baby wearing!
