Parents can introduce baby to the outdoors from the warmth and security of a sling, front pack or waha.
This can be settling for baby and allows parents to get out into the world too.
Baby gets to experience fresh air and the sounds of the outdoors from a safe, warm place.
You can both enjoy getting out in the fresh air.
How to do it
When wearing a sling, front pack or waha, it can be helpful to have someone to help get baby safely ‘loaded’.
Talk to baby about what you’re doing, where you’re going, and what you see and hear. Baby will be soothed by being warm and close, by the familiar sound of your voice and interested in looking at new things.
