Child-bearing father: how to enter the share
As a father and a certified carrier, I believe that it is very important that the child is accustomed to and paternal treatment. The father's walk has a different rhythm, and this diversity is valued by children. The provisions "pressed to the chest" and "pressed against the neck" are the favorite positions of babies bearing fathers.
Position "pressed to the neck."
Arrange the child in the position "pressed against the chest" and pull it up slightly so that its head rests comfortably in the recess of your neck and you cover it with your chin. Here you have found one of the most comfortable and instant Safety when carrying a child in a bag
Baby bags made by well-known manufacturers have been tested for safety, but human factor is of great importance here. When carrying your child, observe the following rules for his safety:
• While you are getting used to carrying a child in a bag, hold it with your hands. During training, supporting the child by hand becomes instinctive - just as a woman holds her bulging belly with her hands during pregnancy. Once you have a great experience, you can safely carry the child in your bag, having one or both hands free.
• While the child is tiny and lies in the "cradle" position, lay one hand( usually the one that is on the side opposite the padded shoulder and the rings) along the top edge of the bag. This extra protection will not allow the child to fall out until you are accustomed to using the bag.
• When you carry the baby in the forward facing position, support it with your own hands, crossed on the front of the bag( or with one hand if the child is turned to the side).
• When carrying a child on your hip, make sure that the top of the bag is tied over the back of the child, at least to the level of the shoulder blades. Fans arched their arcs like practicing in dives with their backs forward when they are worn in this position. If the bag restrains the movement of the child, it disrupts him from such tricks.
• Children after a year like to writhe and sometimes even get up in a bag. Hold the child well when he throws away such tricks.
• Remove the child when cooking at the stove, riding a bicycle or by car. Baby bags are not a replacement for tried and tested children's car seats.
• Avoid sharp turns of the trunk. Many children fell out when mothers suddenly turned around to do something( for example, to save from the danger of an older child), and "forgot" that they were carrying the baby. As a precaution, repeat this exercise: turn sharply the upper part of the body to take something, and at the same time grasp your child's second hand. Often training this reaction, you will instinctively pick up your child with one hand, rushing to something else.
• When you carry a child and you need to bend, bend your knees, not your lower back, and hold the child in your bag with one hand, lifting something else.
• Children from one year to two, when you carry them in a bag, have almost the same reach limit as you, and can grab dangerous or breaking objects from the shelves. Keep at arm's length from potentially dangerous items.
• When walking through the door or bending around corners, be careful not to let your child bulge out of your hand and hit the wall or the door jamb.
• Avoid hot drinks when wearing a baby, although there is a child with the bag in full. In fact, some mothers, if they did not eat, holding the child in a bag, they would starve to death.
Position "nestled to the neck" - favorite position of babies bearing fathers.
but giving the child the comfort of wearing models. In the position "pressed against the neck," the father has some advantage over his mother. Children hear not only with their ears, but also perceiving the vibration of the bones of their skulls. If you press the child's head against your larynx, which is located in the front of the neck, and you moo and hummock your child songs, the slower, easier-to-grasp vibrations of the low male voice will lull the child and he will fall asleep. Walking with your child and shaking it, sing some quiet song.
Another advantage of this provision is that the child feels warm air coming from your nose on the skin of his head.(Experienced mothers know for a long time that sometimes it's enough just to breathe on the head or face of a child to calm him.) They call it "magic breath.") My children liked the position "snuggled up" more than any other position, and so did I.Fathers, do not miss your share in the family art of wearing children.
Warm and fluffy. For the exceptionally masculine variant of the situation, "hugging your chest", attach the ear of the child to your heart - the bare skin to the bare skin. The combination of the rhythm of your heartbeats with the movement of your chest, plus the feeling of abdominal breathing and the rhythm of your walking, accustoms the child to a unique paternal treatment. If a child falls asleep on a warm and fluffy dad( which usually happens), lie down with your child and fall asleep together( see "How to lull a child").
My own experience is similar. I felt a real lift when, for the first time, I put Stefan to my neck, securely fastened it to my chest and went with him for a walk. When we walked together, I experienced a feeling of fullness. Sometimes I wear it for hours. I feel that everything is good when we are together, and that something is wrong( or something is missing) when we are apart. These feelings are usually peculiar only to mothers with children. I also wanted a piece of this pie. The more I wore Stefan, the more confidently we both felt, experiencing different positions. The more he liked it, the more I liked it and the more we enjoyed the joint stay.
