Using the Kanga
means that you and your baby are always close together. The Kanga
recreates an environment like the womb. Your baby can hear your
heartbeat, smell your scent and wiggle along with your movement. They
feel at home, at ease and safe while they can discover the world
around them from within this safe environment. They will be much more
confident and be able to connect to you easier and quicker.
Using the Kanga
you will get used to eachother much quicker because you are so close
together. In a natural way you will grow close to one another. This
can be a great advantage for parents with adopted children because
they often need a longer bonding time.
When used well,
the weight of the child is very well divided over your body. The
Kanga divides the weight of the child over your shoulders, back and
hips and does not have straining straps.
A great benefit
to the mother is the ease of breast-feeding while the child is in the
Kanga. Away from home and in public you can still have the intimacy
for breast-feeding. Research has shown that the mothering hormone
“progesterone” increases due to physical contact with the infant
and that the breasts respond to the infants needs. This means easier
breast-feeding, much improved milk supply and increased duration of
breastfeeding.
Our Kanga allows
you to carry your baby in many different ways and there is no need to
move to a bigger size as the baby grows – saving you a lot of money
in the long run. The Kanga is big and stretchy enough to support
babies of different sizes. The various positions allow you to carry
your baby in different ways in front of your stomach, on your back or
on your hips. Using a regular modern carrier you have at the most two
different ways to carry and you will have to go for a bigger size as
your baby grows.
Research has
shown that babies carried in a sling are calmer. They cry and fuss
43% less overall and 51% less during the evening hours, because all
their primal and survival needs have been met. Because babies cry
less they have much more time to spend on looking around and
exploring our daily routines. This will help them learn faster. With
the baby closer to you it is exposed more to conversation, our social
behaviour and facial expressions, which will increase the speech,
their social development and familiarize them faster with our body
language.
Our Kanga even
supports a method that allows you to carry your twins with you. When
they are still very small you can carry a baby in each one of the
pieces of cloth going across your chest. This means one baby on your
left side and one on your right, close enough together to feel safe
with one another and feel safe with you.
Infants are more
organized because parental rhythms (walking, heartbeat, etc.) have a
balancing and soothing effect on the child.
Aggression is
diminished because they feel loved and more secure of themselves.
The movement in
the Kanga easily puts your baby happily and peacefully to sleep."
