Men who carry their baby in a baby carrier: we think it's super cool. Men who don't care so much about what other people think or how people look. Men who proudly walk around with their baby in a baby carrier. And remain active and enterprising, but now with their baby. Heroes don't wear capes, they wear kids!
When you have a baby as a man, it can sometimes feel like you're on the sidelines. Your wife carried your baby in her belly for nine months, she gave birth to your baby, and she may also breastfeed.
This creates a close bond between mother and child from the very beginning. That's just the way nature works, but that doesn't mean that you, as a father, can't work on building that close bond with your little one. Carrying your child in a sling or baby carrier promotes bonding. You interact with your baby a lot and he or she becomes familiar with your voice, smell, and presence.
But there are also many practical advantages to using a baby sling. With a baby sling, you can do many things together with your little one, whereas with a stroller you often encounter limitations. For example, because you don't have your hands free (to walk the dog or do chores, for example).
Or because the terrain you want to walk on is not accessible with a stroller, such as woods, beaches, or places with stairs. It is also very handy if you already have an older child who likes to hold your hand when walking.
Which baby carrier or sling does a man buy?
Of course, the man's baby carrier can also look a little cooler. Okay, we also melt when we see a father with a soft pink sling carrying his baby on his front. Or his toddler on his back in a toddler carrier, but we also think it's super cool when a man really sees the sling as an extension of his own style.
There are plenty of baby slings and carriers available with cool prints or colors. A baby sling or carrier that suits him perfectly. And whether the father comes home with aByKay, Tula, Ergo, or Artipoppe, with a front or back carrier for babies or toddlers that he can wear on his front or back: we think he's a champ, because he carries!
Some people think fathers who carry their baby are soft or not cool, but what turns out? Men who carry their little one in a baby carrier have a strong attraction to women! So ladies, beware if you want to convince your husband to start carrying too 😉
