Exploring 5 reasons people back babies
We all grew seeing our parents and nursing mothers back babies. We thought it is a tradition and we have all accepted it over the years.
The reasons why people back babies can vary, and they are often related to the child’s development, safety, and well-being. Some of the common reasons include:
Emotional, Social, and Physical Development: Exploring the inside and outside world is important for toddlers’ emotional, social, and physical development.
Attachment and Bonding: It’s important for parents to be attuned and responsive to their baby’s needs to develop a strong attachment and bond with their child.
Safety and Independence: Allowing toddlers to explore under close supervision helps them learn and assert their independence while staying safe.
Immunity and Health: Some parents believe that natural immunity is better for their children than immunity acquired through vaccinations, or that contracting certain preventable diseases can make the child’s immune system stronger in the long term.
Comfort and Support: Right from birth, babies look for comfort and support from caregivers, and responding to their needs with warmth and kindness helps them learn to trust and feel secure.
