In-Arms Carrying

Book excerpt: Join me on a journey of discovery, looking at how human babies are perfectly designed to be carried in arms. We'll explore how babies develop, from newborn to childhood; find out how babies help the carrying process from birth, and how they can become active participants. We'll take a look at the ways we harm our bodies as we grow up, look at adults' bodies and find out how we can help ourselves, and discover how here in the UK we've made carrying harder for ourselves over the ages.You'll also pick up ways of making carrying more comfortable, through how you hold your baby/child as well as working with their inborn clinging nature. Learn to see carrying as a developmental process rather than something we do for our babies and children, and you'll soon realise the importance of in-arms carrying.
