sorry, ale po angielsku
to kawalek dyskusji z wlascicielem sklepu (wywolany dokladnie tym
zdjeciem quirkybaby.com/imgs/category/metroblack150.jpg)
Czy to naprawde jest tylko kwestia tego komu sie wierzy?
Myslalam ze NIE noszenie dzieci przodem do swiata wynika z logiki..
(zdrowia a nie preferencji dziecka - jak np podawanie warzyw a nie
mcdonaldsa)
a jednak sa ludzie ktorzy swiecie wierza (?) ze to ok? ( czy wygrywa
znow chec sprzedania wiecej, bo o niedoinformowaniu przynajmniej nie
moze byc mowy)
nie chce wsadzac zadnego kija w mrowisko, ot , pogadac z Wami
chustomaniaczkami bo ja malo wiem..
I am aware that some people believe that forward facing out is
always inappropriate and always non-ergonomic. As I teach my clients
and customers, it is not ergonomic to use a front pack soft carrier
such as a Baby Bjorn because of the narrowness of the crotch and the
lack of support for the baby's body in a forward facing out
position. It is very different though in an ergonomic carrier such
as a Pikkolo or a stretchy or woven wrap, in which the base is wide
enough to give baby seated support across the bottom and thighs.
It is also, in my opinion, developmentally appropriate to carry a
baby in a forward facing out position as long as the baby is happy
and the parent is paying attention to the baby's cues, and makes
sure to turn baby around if baby becomes over-stimulated. In my
years of babywearing with three children, teaching babywearing, and
helping parents find the right baby carriers for their children, I
am here to tell you that many babies insist on being carried in a
forward facing out position because they want to interact with the
world, especially around the 3-4 month mark when the fourth
trimester ends.
I am always extremely careful to educate parents on how to wear
their babies ergonomically, without baby's weight dangling from the
pelvis, and how to they are paying attention to and responding to
their babies' cues. All babies are different, and some are more
reserved than others. Just as babies require different parenting
techniques to adapt to their personalities, there is no
legitimate "one size fits all" prescription when it comes to
insisting that babies should face in or face out. I prefer to
respect the parents' judgment as they know their babies the best,
while encouraging them to listen to their babies' cues and follow
their babies' guidance in terms of whether their babies wish to be
more interactive or not.
There is simply no valid scientific evidence to prove that forward
facing out is universally non-ergonomic or harmful to babies. There
is certainly a lot of opinion out there, especially coming from
certain German sites, but in my opinion this is not something that
has been proven, but merely another set of (extremely dogmatic)
opinions. I prefer to educate parents and provide them with
ergonomic babywearing options, while encouraging them to respond to
their babies' needs in a respectful way.
