Babywearing advice at Juno
At Juno we’re big fans of babywearing. Carrying your baby close fits perfectly with our vision of warm, connected care.
For your baby
- Promotes bonding and secure attachment with the parent
- Helps regulate stress, heart rate and breathing
- Supports calm, sleep and emotional safety
- Can relieve cramps or reflux
- Stimulates motor and neurological development through closeness and movement
For you as a parent
- Strengthens the bond with your baby
- Gives more freedom in daily life
- Makes soothing and reading signals easier
- Supports confidence in your own parenting
Babywearing lets your baby keep experiencing part of the security of the womb: warmth, rhythm and closeness help with a gentle transition to the outside world.
Babywearing consultant at Juno
Within our team, midwife Laurine is also trained as a babywearing consultant. This is a valuable addition to our care, because correct and ergonomic carrying plays an important role in the comfort and safety of both baby and parent. All Juno colleagues also share the basic knowledge of babywearing, so every midwife can help you get started.
What does a babywearing consultant do?
A babywearing consultant guides parents in carrying their baby safely, ergonomically and comfortably, and helps find a carrying system that truly suits you. During this guidance there is attention for:
- learning tying techniques
- a correct position for baby and parent
- ergonomic support of hips, back and neck
- correctly adjusting wraps and carriers
- choosing a carrying system that fits your body and life
A good carrying position matters because it contributes to:
- healthy hip development of the baby
- less strain on the parent’s back and shoulders
- more comfort and enjoyment
- safe breathing and positioning of the baby
Practical
- Babywearing advice can be woven into postnatal home visits
- Or booked as a separate appointment
- Consults take place at your home, in familiar surroundings
- A practice doll can be used to practise calmly
- Different wraps and carriers can be tried and borrowed so you discover what suits you best
Carrying together, growing together
Babywearing is more than a practical choice, it’s a way of connecting, of creating closeness and calm in the first intense period after birth. We’re glad to help you do this safely, comfortably and with confidence.
