Fourth Trimester Babywearing 🤓⁠
⁠
Babywearing Basics⁠ - Hands Up

A question that comes up so often: 'where do baby's arms go?'

Ideally, baby's arms should be up in front of their body for support. It helps support their spine & lifts their head up.

From a sensory perspective it allows baby access to their hands; some baby's like to sleep on their hands or fists, and for some it's an early feeding cue - bringing a hand to their mouth.

Seven babes in waiting. I really thought the full moon would bring one or two. No one wants their babe here more than the mother in waiting. ♥️ Babies come when they come.

Cry it out never felt right to me. I just wear my baby.

New research shows that ignoring a crying baby can interfere with healthy brain development during the most critical stages of growth. When infants cry without comfort, their stress hormone cortisol rises sharply. Prolonged exposure to high cortisol can disrupt the formation of neural connections in areas responsible for memory, emotional regulation, and attachment.

These early neural pathways shape how children handle stress, build relationships, and regulate emotions later in life. Consistent emotional neglect even unintentionally can make it harder for the developing brain to form the secure bonds essential for resilience and mental well-being. While brief crying is normal, long durations without caregiver response can have lasting effects.

Experts recommend responsive caregiving: soothing, holding, and acknowledging an infant’s distress. These comforting actions lower stress hormones, strengthen healthy brain circuits, and build a foundation of safety and emotional stability. Loving, attentive care in infancy doesn’t just calm the moment it shapes the architecture of the growing mind.

After spending a week or so telling my husband that most women’s waters don’t break until well into the birthing time, mine broke!
