A hiking we will go

Today we went on a little hiking trip as part of outdoor summer holiday. McFizzle had the best seat. Snuggled up in his carrier with a great view of everything.

It was a fabulous day for a hike. The weather was perfect, a little bit hot at some point but then a cool breeze would pass and make it all better. I actually got a nice tan from it as well.

Sleepy Wrap gets a nod for safe and proper infant positioning

Many healthcare providers  have now started to support and recommend  upright carrying for  babies and say that it may benefit your child’s health.

I found an interesting article about it. This is what it says:

The average infant between the ages of three weeks and three months is carried little more than two and a half hours a day. Infants, who are placed on their backs during this time, frequently develop a flattening of the back of the skull (plagiocephaly) and poor muscle tone of the upper neck. This positioning straightens the natural c-shaped curvature of the cervical spine and may also negatively influence the development of the hip joints.
Proper upright carrying involves wrapping the baby facing you with knees flexed against your chest, while supporting underneath the baby’s bottom. Swaddling the baby in this way, instead of artificially straightening his legs, is ideal.
Upright carrying tends to be a less stressful position on a baby’s developing spine. It reinforces the natural c-shaped curvature of the spine and allows the baby to practice compensatory movements that aid in the development of fine motor skills.
Also, parents who upright carry have reported improved respiration, digestion, sensory development and reduced ear infections in their child.
A word of caution: some 1980s-style upright carriers which resemble backpacks and have the baby facing outward, do not offer enough neck support and tend to artificially straighten the legs. Look for wrap-style carriers that have the baby facing towards you, such as the Sleepy Wrap.
