How to try it
Settle your baby into a carrier or sling, high and upright against your chest, and walk a slow loop of your street. Talk quietly about what you pass, or say nothing at all.
Materials
- Carrier or sling
- Sun hat
Safety note
Keep your baby's face uncovered and visible, with their chin off their chest so they can breathe easily.
Review this idea in your private family planner before saving.
Why it matters
Being carried close and moving with you settles your baby, while the air and passing sounds give them plenty to take in.
Benefit
Calming touch
