Babywearing promotes closeness and security from "summary" of The Attachment Parenting Book by William Sears,Martha Sears

When you wear your baby in a carrier, you are providing them with a sense of security and closeness that is essential for their emotional well-being. This physical closeness allows your baby to feel your warmth, hear your heartbeat, and even smell your familiar scent, all of which are comforting and reassuring to them. This closeness helps to regulate your baby's emotions and reduces their stress levels, making them feel safe and secure in your presence. Babywearing also promotes bonding between you and your baby, as it allows for constant physical contact and interaction throughout the day. This closeness strengthens the attachment between you and your baby, fostering a strong emotional connection that is crucial for their development. When you wear your baby, you are not only meeting their physical needs but also providing them with the emotional support and reassurance that they require to thrive. Furthermore, babywearing can help to regulate your baby's physiological functions, such as their heart rate and breathing, as they are kept close to your body. This physical closeness can have a calming effect on your baby, helping them to relax and feel at ease in your presence. By wearing your baby, you are creating a secure environment for them to explore the world around them while knowing that you are there to provide comfort and support whenever they need it. In addition, babywearing can also benefit you as a parent, as it allows you to be hands-free while still being able to attend to your baby's needs. This can be especially helpful for parents who have other children to care for or who need to multitask throughout the day. By wearing your baby, you are able to keep them close to you while also tending to other responsibilities, making it easier to balance caregiving duties with other tasks.
