Benefits for the Development of the Child

Portage; all its benefits for the development of the child Snuggled against you, your baby will calm down and develop fully. Your movements reassure him and your proximity gives him an unexpected intellectual and emotional strength.

The Portage: unsuspected benefits

From birth, closeness to one's parents contributes to the development of the child. It results in gestures of affection but also a hand-to-hand contact facilitated by the physiological carriage. Snuggled against his mother, the infant receives his dose of love on a daily basis and develops safely. According to specialists such as Mieke, a porter consultant for the Ergobaby brand, the portage would even participate in the neuronal awakening of the little one. "At birth, humans have 170 billion nerve cells. For lack of stimulation, the small child loses 60 billion in its first 3 years,
"she says. To promote the connection between neurons, the expert advises to use porting. "The child is more receptive to the sounds, smells, colors and movements that stimulate the senses," she adds. Among its other many benefits, portering would have the function of attenuating certain affections; a stomach ache, cough or persistent cold. It would act as a kind of regulator thanks, among other things, to the vertical position.

Is a child worn spoiled?

As an original practice, portering is a pillar of education for Aboriginal peoples. "The Kung, who live in the Kalahari Desert, Africa, maintain physical contact between the infant and the mother about 90% of the time in the first weeks of life," says Mieke. Unlike industrialized countries, where the fear of spoiling a child is rooted in educational mores, for the indigenous population, it is the lack of proximity to the infant that is negligence in itself. Moreover, according to Mieke: "If a toddler cries, it's because he does not yet understand the world in which he lives". And the portage is part of the means for him to be soothed by this immensity made of novelties and learning.
