When a mother holds her young baby, she naturally brings him up against her chest and holds him close. There are many documented benefits for young babies held this way. Okkatots front baby carrier system is designed to carry your baby high enough that your baby can rest his head against your chest in a natural position, fully supported against your body. Many babies prefer to be held chest to chest, heart to heart. It is calming for a baby, helps regulate breathing and heartbeat. It builds core body strength and balance. It is easier for babies to release swallowed air (burp!) and keep milk down. Babies are also able to regulate their responses to the world around them. They take their cues from the parent's response. When a parent holds their baby close much of the baby's weight is taken on her body not just on the supporting arm.

This means that if your baby is restless while in the carrier, the straps can be extended, allowing him to see your face and interact with you without being removed from the carrier. Eye contact with you is critical for your baby's developing sense of worth and security. The Okkatots front baby carrier lets you chat with your baby and make eye contact if he or she gets restless. By extending these straps, you can also increase air flow around your baby when needed. The pouch can be detached with your baby still in it. Then, once she is comfortably asleep in a crib, the Pouch can be removed by releasing the waist buckle and sliding the pouch from your baby.
