Ein Baby Will Getragen Sein. Alles über Geeignete Tragehilfen Und Die Vorteile Des Tragens

by Evelin Kirkilionis

Was kann es Schöneres für ein Baby geben, als sich von seinen Eltern geliebt und getragen zu fühlen? Und wie ließe sich das unmittelbarer erfahren als durch Körperkontakt? Angeschmiegt an die Mutter oder den Vater erlebt ein Kind jene Nähe und Geborgenheit, die es so sehr braucht, um nach und nach vertrauensvoll seine neue Welt zu erforschen.
Getragenwerden ist außerdem gesund: Es kommt nicht nur den körperlichen Bedürfnissen eines Babys entgegen, sondern beugt auch Fehlentwicklungen des Hüftgelenks vor.
Welche Tragehilfen für welche Situation die geeignetsten sind, worauf Sie beim Erwerb achten sollten und welche Anwendungsmöglichkeiten sich anbieten, all das erfahren Sie anhand ausführlicher Beschreibungen und Illustrationen.

[Torri Foster · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such an interesting read. It dives deep into the history of human evolution and anatomy in order to help you understand why babies are made to be carried. It talks about the benefits, addresses the “concerns”, and refutes the myths. As someone who wears their child several hours a day, I absolutely geeked out over the technicality of her explanations. I’d definitely recommend for someone who wants to know WHY babywearing is so natural or if they want the scientific refutation of certain concerns.

this is a great book which outlines the benefits of baby carrying…

a baby’s needs and development

choosing the right carrier for you

a practical guide to the different uses of a woven wrap with a useful step-by-step picture guide to help you get it right

the essentials for carrying your baby

and it includes research, which is always important to validate the information



I love this book and I am adding it to the library at the Birth & Baby Family Centre – it beautifully reinforces our need and desire to carry our babies, to soothe them and to keep them close and, with its step-by-step picture guide, it is also a really practical and useful book for new parents.

Rachel Coy from the North East Sling Library has also read the book:

A perfect coffee table book which looks at the biological and sociological reason for baby carrying. Evelin Kirkilonis has presented her ideas and findings in an accessible way. Occasionally the translation from original German to English Is a little clunky but overall message is clear. Evelin Kirkilonis’ research into spread squat position and explanation of why babies need to be clinging or carried young provide comfort to parents who find they can’t put their baby down. A lovely book and have enjoyed reading it.

This is an excellent book that all Babywearing Educators, babywearing group leaders, and parent should read. It gives evidence based information regarding the normal development of baby's hips and spine as well as the emotional attachment that can be supported through babywearing. Great book!
