Benefits for Parents

• Cradling approach for nervous or anxious carer’s and those with reduced manual dexterity.

Holding your baby for the first time is a very exciting experience but can be quiet overwhelming. Parents must concentrate on supporting the baby’s soft head, neck and spine. People with reduced manual dexterity or a disability can also be very nervous or find it difficult, when handed over the tiny infant to hold.

When using Momby baby support the baby’s delicate spine and head are fully supported and the baby’s weight is evenly distributed throughout. For those who are nervous or those with disabilities this makes holding the baby a more safe and relaxed experience.

• Reduces Back, Shoulder and Tummy Pain

Complaints of back pain by pregnant women are common.  The hormones of pregnancy, which help to relax muscles, are produced for up to six weeks after the birth your baby.  This may cause you to actually overstretch, without realising you are putting pressure on your back.  As your infant grows, the weight load increases and back pain may worsen. Therefore it is not surprising that, approx. 30-40% of mothers complain of post-partum backache.

To prevent backache while breast-feeding mothers are advised to bring baby to the breast, rather than bending over your baby. This can be difficult to achieve.

However, using the Momby baby support while breast-feeding, ensures that your baby is brought towards the breast when your natural instinct is to gravitate down towards your baby, putting a strain on your back.  Mothers who have C/Sections can use the Momby baby support to prevent pressure been put on the scar, reducing discomfort while feeding.
