Carry With Love

Babywearing is for everyone!

I Won't Let My Disability Stop Me From Carrying My Baby Most dads don’t give carrying their kids this much thought and effort. But I have cerebral palsy.

Close enough to kiss at all times 😘

Look at how our brains light up when kissing our babies. KISS YOUR BABIES! 🥰😘🤱

This is the world’s first ever magnetic resonance image showing a mother and child’s bond. .
The image is of neuroscientist Rebecca Saxe kissing her two month old son.

The child’s brain appears to be smoother and darker. This is because it has significantly less white matter. White matter is comprised of myelin, which is fatty tissue that acts as insulation for the wires that communicate messages inside your brain.

Kissing causes a chemical reaction in your brain, including a burst of the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin is often referred to as the ‘love hormone’ because it stirs up feelings of affection and attachment.

Kissing activates the brain’s reward system; releasing dopamine which makes us feel good. It also releases vasopressin which bonds mothers with babies and romantic partners to each other. It also releases serotonin which helps to regulate our mood. Credit .

April is cesarean awareness month. So what about babywearing after a cesarean? Everyone is different in terms of healing the main rule of thumb is to wait until you feel ready. In other words, if its hurts don't do it. It may take a few weeks, or even months.

Babywearing does require some core strength and after abdominal surgery, it takes time healing before you will start to get that back. Pregnancy alone can do a number on a mother's core!

It may be more comfortable to use a carrier without a waist belt. For example, a ring sling, stretchy, or woven wrap.

The most important thing is to get skin to skin time every day. Hopefully you can rest reclined and keep baby on your chest. A sleep belt can be a nice to have babywearing device for this time.
