Can babywearing relieve GERD?

GERD babies can suffer from are often relieved by the upright posture offered by babywearing. By promoting an upright posture and allowing baby to roll up well, babywearing can help limit acid reflux by reducing muscle tension on the front of baby's body. It can also accompany you in breastfeeding by allowing you to keep baby upright during breastfeeding;)

Recommended positions:
- In a sling (baby under three months) = off-center ventral
- In a baby carrier: ventral with the booster (if baby under 6 months)
